A curated Indie publishing label that puts the fans first

October 1, 2024 – We’re Big Fan, a Devolver Digital label. We’re a small but passionate team of industry veterans with a single focus: helping independent game developers breathe new life into their favorite movies, comics, TV shows, and cult heroes through the power of video games. (bigfangames.com)
 
Like you, we’re really into games. But when it comes to “licensed games”, we think there’s room for a new approach. One where indie developers get to make the call. To take some risks and explore unique ideas that aren’t dictated by spreadsheets. So we formed Big Fan to help make that dream a reality. From a team that carries a deep bench of experience working with games and entertainment properties like Dune, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, Hellboy, Evil Dead, John Wick, Blair Witch, The Power Rangers and more.
 
We believe (and have seen firsthand) that great games that propel existing franchises can offer a connection with a fan that only an interactive experience can offer. Independent games created in these universes can explore them in new and unexpected ways, and it’s our goal to raise the bar of what fans can expect.
 
Drawing inspiration from beloved franchises, we strive to bring these worlds closer to fans—both old and new—through the lens of creative teams driven by their passion for the material. We support developers by providing our industry expertise and the resources they need to bring their ideas to life. Our goal at Big Fan is to nurture fun and inventive games that stand on their own, rather than serving as marketing tie-ins for other media launches.
 
It’s easy for us to make grand statements in a press release, but we like to think we can back them up. Collectively, we’ve published a lot of different games on a lot of different platforms, some of which you might have even heard of. Our work includes collaborations with like-minded teams at Disney, Dark Horse Comics, Rebellion, Lionsgate, and more. We are actively working with these partners right now, with more on the way.
 
Have a favorite game you’ve always dreamed of rebooting or a cult classic film or book you’d love to see adapted into a game? We’d love to hear from you.

About Big Fan

Big Fan is a new publishing label and wholly owned subsidiary of Devolver Digital formed with one goal: to create great games from well-known and beloved entertainment franchises. We’re a team of dreamers that have come together from various places in the games and entertainment industry – you may already know our work from games like Hellboy: Web of Wyrd and John Wick Hex. We’re just getting started and we’ve got a lot in store for 2024 and beyond. Get involved at Bigfangames.com.
 
About Devolver Digital

Devolver Digital is the sixth or maybe fifth favorite publisher of the most distinguished gamers across all major gaming platforms. Recent bangers include Cult of the Lamb, The Talos Principle 2, Anger Foot and others, while older classics like Enter the Gungeon, GRIS, Hotline Miami and Inscryption continue worming their way into the hearts and minds of anyone unlucky enough to be targeted by Devolver’s unparalleled marketing strategies.

Add the game to your Steam wishlist to follow the game’s development.

ABOUT CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apo action RPG, mixing free exploration of a huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, and team and base management with non-linear storytelling. You’re a planeswalker who travels through parallel worlds in search of the precious, high-energy material called Chernobylite. Cut off from the world, trapped in the Zone, attacked by hordes of nightmare creatures, you must fight for survival and unite the handful of remaining survivors.

The story told in the game will make you fight to survive in the most dangerous place on Earth. Whether you become the hunted or the hunter depends on how quickly you can evolve, your ability to adapt, and the strategy you follow when exploring the open world of the Chornobyl area. In the daytime, you can see the Zone as an intriguing, exciting, or even beautiful area, but when dusk comes, the absolute terror starts and you have to face it every night.

CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE – MAIN FEATURES

OPEN WORLD EXPLORATION 

Explore the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technologies.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Create and develop your hero. Attributes and skills will affect combat effectiveness, as well as the conversation style. An arrogant muscle man with a big sword trying to intimidate everyone? Or a smart sniper who always finds the right arguments? The choice is yours.

DIVERSE COMBAT

Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system or keep your enemies away with a diverse arsenal of firearms in a third-person perspective – gain complete control over your character. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help. When you explore the game world, you can see it from your eyes’ perspective, but whenever it comes to combat, you’ll get the third-person perspective to see all the threats around you more clearly and be able to react more accurately.

The combat system of Chernobylite 2 is a massive expansion of its predecessor. The introduction of advanced melee weapons fight and crafting system gives more diversity to the character build, strategies, and tactics you can create independently. Don’t forget that if you like to play at the pace of the original Chernobylite, you still can.

PLANEWALKING

Adapt your build and equipment to the situation with plane walking, which allows you to change things on the fly. You’re free to develop more than one character skill set. Are you encountering a situation that your previously prepared heavy melee build will solve better than your current ranged sniper? Planewalk and use another one.

TEAM BUILDING

Embark on the exciting team-building journey. Each of your mates is a potential teacher, ready to share their knowledge and skills. Assemble your team and discover the unique strengths and abilities they bring. The question is, will you earn their trust and unlock their full potential?

BASE DEVELOPMENT

Develop your base. There, you can create valuable items and upgrade your weapons every day. Assign your people to tasks, and they will take care of your equipment and supplies.

FACTIONS

Fight for domination and negotiate with factions. The Exclusion Zone is a battlefield that changes every day and reacts to your every action. Can you help them defeat the army of vicious monsters? And when old conflicts are revived, whose side will you be on?

COOPERATIVE MISSIONS

Experience online cooperative missions embedded in a single-player campaign allowing players to interact in various ways to achieve the goal.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is being developed by The Farm 51 and will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

A Marquee Event, Sinister Stories, and More Rewards Than You Can Fit in your Sack. No One Does Halloween like Dead by Daylight.

MONTREAL – Oct. 1, 2024 – Halloween isn’t just a holiday in Dead by Daylight, it’s an entire season. A familiar chill is back in the air, and once again gaming’s premiere horror destination is pulling out all the stops with the return of Haunted by Daylight, the arrival of a new Tome, and more new cosmetics than The Entity has claws. Whether players are looking for tricks, treats, or a terrifying twist on Trials, there’s something for everyone throughout the month of October and beyond.

Get Haunted by Daylight

The Void Realm beckons, and those who dare to set foot within may never be the same again. The Haunted by Daylight Event returns from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7 for its third year at the forefront of Dead by Daylight’s Halloween festivities.

The Void is back for this latest iteration of the event and set to play a bigger role than ever. This year not only are there more available portals into the Void Realm, but once opened they can’t be closed. Void Energy must again be collected in order to open these portals, but when inside, it can also be spent to create brand-new role-specific Void Items to help turn the tides of a Trial. Ratcheting up the event’s intensity, Killer Powers are now available to use within the Void Realm itself for the first time ever.

Castlevania, Continued Hot on the heels of the iconic Castlevania making its way into The Entity’s Realm, Tome 21: DOMINUS looks to double down, delivering more stories, Outfits, and rewards from the undying franchise

A celebration of all things Castlevania, with a specific focus on some popular Nintendo DS titles, DOMINUS features memories that delve deeper into Trevor Belmont and Dracula’s histories as they both seek to recruit Alucard to their cause. In a Dead by Daylight first, every single Outfit, Charm, Banner and Badge, available to earn in DOMINUS will either be Castlevania themed or inspired by gothic horror, including the Legendary Soma Cruz Outfit for Trevor, and the Visceral Legendary True Form Outfit for Dracula, complete with its own Mori.

Threads of Dread

Dressing up is half the fun of Halloween, and Dead by Daylight is out to make sure players have everything they could want when it comes to finding the perfect in-game costume for their favorite characters.

Beginning Oct. 17 and lasting for the duration of the Haunted by Daylight event, new additions to The Void Collection show the chilling effects of a brush with oblivion. This year players can pick up Outfits for Kate Denson, Adam Francis, and Zarina Kassir, along with the Collection’s first Killer Outfit for The Plague.

In a nod to the lighter side of the season, the Tricks and Treats Collection introduces a group costume for Sable Ward and Mikaela Reid, both available in store. Sable steps into the role of a spellcasting witch, while Mikaela plays the part of her feline familiar. The Collection also includes Outfits for Yun-Jin and The Trickster, earnable via the Event, that sees them attending a Halloween concert. Both sets of Outfits are time limited.

Also returning is the fan-favorite Hallowed Blight Collection, with new looks available Oct. 7. Grotesque, gruesome, and endlessly oozing, new additions to the Collection include Outfits for The Pig, The Good Guy, The Deathslinger, and more.

Finally, the Alien Collection serves up two all-new outfits with the “Juggernaut Xenomorph”, as well as the iconic “Pressure Suit” for Ellen Ripley. Both new outfits will be available on Nov. 7.

Players can test their nerve in the Haunted by Daylight Event from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7 in Dead by Daylight.
