Epic Games shifts strategy to self-publishing with 6 games coming

Epic Games has undergone a shift in the past year or so, with a greater focus on smaller games that the company is self-publishing. Six of those games are in the works at the moment.

The Raleigh, N.C.-based company announced one of those games, Battle Breakers, today at Google’s developer day event at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Epic’s Donald Mustard told me about the strategy shift in an interview. Besides Battle Breakers, the coming titles include Spyjinx, Paragon, Unreal Tournament, Fortnite, and Robo Recall.
