Devolver Digital puts out a lot of good games and it's looking to spread that magic around to licensed content. The company just announced a sub-label called Big Fan Games that will specialize in developing indie titles based on pre-existing IPs. Devolver describes Big Fan Games as "a brand new label giving developers license to create original game adaptations using the worlds and characters of iconic film, television, and comic properties." To that end, the team is staffed with industry veterans who have worked with companies like Disney and Dark Horse Comics. Today we launch Big Fan ( @BigFanPresents) - a brand new label giving developers license to create original game adaptations using the worlds and characters of iconic film, television, and comic properties.

The console wars are not over, but there are some signs that collaboration may yet win out. While Sony continues to opt out of the "Better Together" Minecraft initiative to bring cross-platform play to all platforms, it looks to be making games for non-Sony devices, including the Nintendo Switch. In a Japanese-language press release, the company just announced a new publishing label named Unties, which comes from the idea of unleashing the talents of game creators. The idea is to find and distribute great indie games, says the press release, and help them find an audience, no matter the device it plays on. The debut title, Tiny Metal, will be a "full-scale strategy simulation game" from developer Area 35.
