Lyrical Media, led by Alexander Black, has ventured into the world of indie video game publishing with the launch of their new company, Lyrical Games. The studio, headed by industry veterans like Blake Rochkind, is already working on three projects in collaboration with developers, including Blackbird Interactive, the creators of “Hardspace: Shipbreaker.”
This new endeavor stems from Lyrical Media’s existing involvement in the gaming industry, alongside their upcoming film and TV projects such as “Onslaught” and “The Death of Robin Hood.” The company aims to support innovative and high-quality games that fall between indie and AAA productions, filling a gap left by traditional publishers who tend to play it safe.
Rochkind, who previously worked at Private Division and UTA, is joined by other industry experts at Lyrical Games. The team has already invested significant funds into the company and plans to release their first games next year, despite the challenging landscape of the gaming industry.
Lyrical Games is actively seeking partnerships with a diverse range of developers, from seasoned veterans to up-and-coming studios with fresh ideas. Black emphasizes the importance of empowering game creators and connecting their art with players who will appreciate it, highlighting the collaborative nature of the company’s approach.
Overall, Lyrical Games is poised to make a significant impact in the gaming industry, with a focus on supporting bold and visionary developers. Stay tuned for exciting announcements and game releases from this innovative new publisher.
