The Walking Dead creator’s Skybound Entertainment is publishing games now

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment has created Skybound Games specifically for publishing indie games. The new division will start off by bringing Monomi Park’s Slime Rancher and Hinterland’s The Long Dark to physical retail for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

505 Games cofounder Ian Howe will head up the new publishing venture. In the 11 years he was president at 505 Games, he brought indie darlings such as ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley and Klei Entertainment’s Don’t Starve to consoles. Skybound Games will also incorporate this strategy of scouring Steam for successful PC titles to bring to other platforms, but it has other plans as well.
