Kepler Interactive is a video game publisher founded in September 2021. Based in London and Singapore, it is co-owned by a group of independent game developers. Its published games include Tchia , Scorn , and Sifu .
Kepler Interactive was founded in September 2021 by CEO Alexis Garavaryan, the co-founder behind Kowloon Nights, a game development fund. [2] Self-described as a "super developer" publishing group, Kepler was initially co-owned by seven independent studios: A44 (known for developing Ashen ), Alpha Channel, Awaceb, Ebb Software, Shapefarm, Sloclap (known for developing Absolver ) and Timberline Studio. Each participating studio had "equal say" on the publishing label's decision-making process and were able to share resources and financial gains, but Kepler itself will not interefere with the operations of each studio, allowing them to stay independent. [3] [4] Kepler received $120 million in funding from Chinese gaming company NetEase, which became a minority shareholder. [1] The studio's revenue reached $50 million in 2022, boosted by the release of Ebb Software's Scorn and Sloclap's Sifu . [5]
In 2023, Kepler also launched Kepler Ghost, a white-label publishing service, providing marketing and publishing for game developers. Eternights from Studio Sai was the first video game project to benefit from this program. [6] Additional developers, including The Gentlebros (the developer behind the Cat Quest series) and new studio Sandfall Interactive also joined Kepler. [5] It also partnered with Ironwood Studios for the publishing and release of Pacific Drive . [7]
