Versus Evil, a subsidiary of tinyBuild, will close its doors, the company announced. The Baltimore-based publisher was established in September 2013 and has published a number of indie games over the years. “Today is a sad day,” the company said in a tweet. “After 10 wonderful years, Versus Evil is closing its doors. We loved bringing you the best indie games we could find and sharing so many happy memories with all of you, our amazing community! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for everything!”
According to Lance James, head of production for Versus Evil, “this was not a decision or choice by Versus Evil.” Despite the closure, Versus Evil still has several upcoming titles, including Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients and Lil’ Guardsman. At this time, it is unclear if these projects will be picked up by parent company tinyBuild or if they will need to find a new publishing partner.
This announcement marks the end of a decade in which Versus Evil rose to prominence in the indie game publishing scene. His contribution to the industry has been appreciated by the gaming community. We look forward to more details on the fate of future Versus Evil projects and how the industry will respond to this news. We thank Versus Evil for their contributions and wish them the best in their future endeavors!
