NGD Studios applies 16 years of indie success to publishing with Hellbound

NGD Studios has been making games in Argentina for 16 years. Now it wants to help a fellow Argentinian gamemaker bring their debut effort to the market.

Today, NGD announced it’s publishing Saibot Studios’ Hellbound, a 1990s-style first-person shooter that’s a bit of an homage to Doom and Quake. It’s about dealing death to demons. NGD once had a division that made a slew of mobile games, and it also did 2007’s Champions of Regnum (the first MMO from a Latin America developer), Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars for Wargaming in 2016, and some of the DLC for Endless Legend. The deal is a sign of two indie studios partnering in the punishing PC gaming market, where it can be hard for new games to stand out on Steam, the platform’s No. 1 digital storefront.
