Big Fan is a new Devolver publisher focussed on licenses

Indies making loved IP? Let's see it.

Big Fan is the name of a new indie publisher focussed on creating games using existing IP licenses, owner Devolver has proclaimed.

“We’re a small but passionate team of industry veterans with a single focus: helping independent game developers breathe new life into their favorite movies, comics, TV shows, and cult heroes through the power of video games,” reads Big Fan’s introduction via press release.

“But when it comes to ‘licensed games’, we think there’s room for a new approach. One where indie developers get to make the call. To take some risks and explore unique ideas that aren’t dictated by spreadsheets. So we formed Big Fan to help make that dream a reality. From a team that carries a deep bench of experience working with games and entertainment properties like Dune, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, Hellboy, Evil Dead, John Wick, Blair Witch, The Power Rangers and more.”

While Big Fan didn’t go as far to announce any games it will publish, it did call out that it is collaborating with “like-minded teams at Disney, Dark Horse Comics, Rebellion, Lionsgate, and more.”

We’ll let you know what Big Fan is up to as soon as they’re ready to detail it.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
