Prime Matter is bringing new and existing games into the fold, starting very soon
Koch Media have revealed that they are spinning up a new publishing label, called Prime Matter and usually when a new label is revealed, games take awhile to come, but that is not the case here, as the first game is coming in just a few months.
Koch Media is not unknown, so you might ask, why start up a new label, that could confuse players, check out this statement, which hopefully explains why.
“Games originate from the minds and hearts of the developers. Prime Matter is focused on maximising this potential from the studios whilst empowering their dream or vision; one of our core values is to enable and support the studios, giving them the chance and freedom to express themselves within their game as they deserve. said Mario Gerhold, Global Brand & Marketing Director (Games) Koch Media Group. Some of the most treasured I.Ps in our industry started out as crowdfunded, or projects outside the mainstream that the developers truly believe in… history has proved that inspiration and talent is not defined by stereotypes”
Beyond that though, there are twelve, that is 12 games, coming to players via the new label, here is the full list, some games are already known, like the first one, others are all new.
