Kinetic Games, the developer behind the popular ghost-hunting co-op game Phasmophobia, has announced its expansion into game publishing. The studio revealed plans to publish multiple titles across various genres, marking a significant diversification beyond its own game development.
Among the announced releases is an upcoming project from acclaimed narrative designer Sam Barlow, known for his work on Her Story and Immortality. Notably, filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg has been brought on to collaborate on this title, adding an intriguing creative partnership to the project.
