Tripwire Presents, the publishing division of Tripwire Interactive has announced a new initiative, expanding its business to include scaled publishing support of smaller independent developers to help connect players with a curated selection of quality-proven indie titles spanning different genres and platforms.

The new program will aim to offer flexible, dev-friendly partnerships that are built around a simple philosophy: to help great games reach more players while making sure the developers who created them benefit the most. According to a press release, as a publishing partner, Tripwire will offer “advanced support from their knowledge and resources including access to the company’s extensive and engaged player community, platform and storefront relationships, promotional calendars and strategic guidance on pricing, discounts, sales timing and lifecycle management.”

Tripwire will build a focused portfolio targeting games from the spectrum of genres and platforms at different points in their lifecycle, from pre-release, to Early Access and post-launch.

“Tripwire Presents is starting this new program to give additional visibility to great self-published indie games that we feel Tripwire fans will absolutely love,”  said Bryan West, publishing director at Tripwire Presents, in the same press release.

“These titles are from scrappy developers who have done the hard work of both creating and promoting a game themselves. We want to shine a spotlight on these gems to help each of them reach a broader audience.”

Five titles will lead the company’s new initiative, including The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire, Starforged Legacy, Mars Attracts, One-Eyed Likho and Eslabong. Each game has been hand-selected by Tripwire for their distinctive product propositions and quality offerings, along with the passion and collaborative approach from each of the developers.
