Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

February 22nd, 2019 –Watford, UK - #wiredproductions are today delighted to announce the highly anticipated indie darling Close to the Sun, will come exclusively to the #epicgamesstore on #pc. Available now for pre-purchase worldwide, prospective adventurers can discover Close to the Sun at EpicGames.com, for $29.99 in North America and €29.99 in most European countries*.

Close to the Sun is an atmospheric horror adventure game developed by leading independent Italian studio #storminateacup. Its launch on the Epic store is a success story for Epic and its support of the game creation ecosystem.

#storminateacup switched from using Unity as a development engine to Unreal Engine 4 with #closetothesun, embracing leading edge technology. The change in engine led to huge increases in fidelity and quality within the game, delivering a breath-taking experience for players. Storm in a Teacup’s early success secured the studio a coveted Unreal Dev Grant before signing with independent publisher #wiredproductions.

“It’s great news for independent developers and publishers that Epic has opened up these incredible opportunities for its partners,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, #wiredproductions. “Success in this industry is hard to come by and the industry relies on each other to drive progress. Great games need great developers, who need great tech, who need great publishers, who need great distribution opportunities."

Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Founder, #storminateacup, said: “Our relationship with Epic and the decision to use Unreal Engine have provided fantastic opportunities for our studio, enabling a greater creative freedom and the ability to double-down on quality for our games. To launch on the #epicgamesstore feels like the perfect next step and we are delighted that our partnerships with both #wiredproductions and Epic Games will help propel #closetothesun to achieve our ambitions.”

Close to the Sun will launch on #pc and console in 2019.
