Our take
Gaming, like films and TV is increasingly dominated by big-name studios and franchises. But Kepler Interactive is on a mission to change that, with its co-ownership model that allows smaller studios greater creative freedom over their output.
Its model allows for studio freedom, in some ways mimicking the freedom granted by Sweden’s Embracer (although Embracer doesn’t give studios co-ownership) which has grown into Europe’s largest video game company. Rewarding creative freedom seems to pay off, with an 81 score on meteoritic for 2022 release Sifu, and real anticipation for its upcoming open-world adventure Tchia.
GamingIndustry.biz awarded Kepler Interactive best place to work in the UK in 2022, and in 2023 reported its annual revenue milestone of $50 million. The success of early releases positions it well to cement its place in the gaming landscape going forward.
