Double Fine Reveals First Game Since Leaving Xbox, And It Has 250K+ Views Already
Double Fine Productions has announced multiple projects following its departure from Xbox, signaling a major shift toward independent development. The studio revealed a new game as part of its Action Labs label, which has already garnered over 250,000 views, demonstrating strong community interest in the studio’s post-Xbox ventures.
Beyond the new Action Labs title, Double Fine is pursuing an indie Kickstarter project, expanding its portfolio across multiple platforms. The studio has also supported existing titles with significant updates, including a major patch and permanent price reduction for Kiln, while bringing the Xbox/PC game Keeper to PlayStation 5. Additionally, Double Fine teased the possibility of developing Brutal Legend 2, contingent on successful fundraising efforts.
These announcements represent a comprehensive restructuring of Double Fine’s operations as an independent studio. The company’s multi-pronged approach—combining new releases, platform expansions, community-funded projects, and legacy title support—suggests an ambitious strategy to establish itself outside the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. The strong reception to the Action Labs announcement indicates publisher and player confidence in the studio’s ability to succeed as an independent entity.
