Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Northgard creators #shirogames has today announced the launch of their brand new publishing label, Shiro Unlimited, focused on indie games. This launch comes at the back of the announcement of their latest title, Wartales, and as the studio is about to cross its 10th year of life

Shiro Unlimited's mission is to help the unique games that just need a little push to reach more players and become landmarks in their genre. The Label already has exciting plans for the next few months and is announcing their collaboration with DIMANCHE CORP on Opportunity. 

"We truly think the expertise we gained while self-publishing Evoland or Northgard could be very beneficial to other indie devs that struggle finding the right way to push their game to market, '' explains #sebastienvidal CEO and Co-founder at Shiro. "We are game developers at heart, and we know our feedback to our partners will be based on the understanding we have of the day to day game dev challenges."

Shiro Unlimited will benefit from the experience and skills Shiro has developed over the last 10 years, with the objective of carefully curating and publishing titles that Shiro themselves could have made and the clear goal of preserving the vision of their developers, whilst helping smaller teams achieve the best possible version of their projects. With this in mind, all games published by Shiro Unlimited will aim to offer a new type of experience in their specific genre or innovation in fields like  art direction, gameplay and systems, genre crossovers and more.

The first title published by Shiro Unlimited will be  the narrative title Opportunity, with the game inspired by the day the earth lost contact with Nasa's namesake's rover on the surface of Mars. Opportunity will launch as a narrative game driven by exploration and poetry, where players will experience the beauty and loneliness of space conquest as they control the famous rover in its mission to bring back proof of water or life from the red planet.

During their journey, players will update their rover scraping  parts  they will find on the way so they can keep going further. They will have to adapt to new specific hazards unique to each zone of the red planet. The game will include an organic music soundtrack, with heavy acoustic guitar elements, so players can feel truly immersed when experimenting with the scientific research of the rover.

"We're glad Shiro Unlimited has the opportunity to work with DIMANCHE CORP for the first project of our new label. The project is really important for us, being the first game not developed in-house!" said #adrienbriatta Head of Marketing and Publishing at Shiro Games
