When it comes to publishers of indie titles, Devolver Digital<\/strong> is\u00a0a name generally held in high respect. Judging by the company’s Devolver Direct 2020<\/a>, it’s clear that Devolver intends to continue bringing quality games to players.<\/p>\n

These days, many players associate Devolver with\u00a0Fall Guys<\/em> due to its success. This is not the first horse Devolver has backed, however.\u00a0Enter the Gungeon<\/em> is another stand-out title, and\u00a0Serious Sam 4<\/em> marks the latest in a long tradition of Devolver publishing\u00a0Serious Sam<\/a><\/em> titles. While Devolver usually floats between indie developers, its history with\u00a0Serious Sam<\/em> developer Croteam has\u00a0more\u00a0history, and how the publisher has officially gone ahead and purchased Croteam.<\/p>\n

Croteam began as a small group of friends looking to get into the gaming business. The team started with sports titles, but eventually created a demo that would become\u00a0Serious Sam<\/em>. The only publisher that would touch an unproven game with a story as crazy as Serious Sam’s<\/a>\u00a0was Gathering of Developers. Many years later, members of this Gathering formed a new company: Devolver Digital. Bringing things full circle, Devolver was looking for a prominent title to publish and Croteam brought them a new\u00a0Serious Sam<\/em> title, so after many years of working together Devolver has bought up Croteam.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Devolver Digital has promised Croteam “complete creative freedom” in its announcement. Beyond\u00a0Serious Sam<\/em>, Croteam is most well known for\u00a0The Talos Principle<\/em>, and both IPs have their fans. Devolver’s name is typically a mark of quality, as games it publishes often do well and wind up crossing over with huge names, like Fall Guys<\/em>\u00a0recently did with Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parties from the companies joked about the situation, saying they have been “dating for so long that we decided to go ahead and just get married.” It’s a marriage that should benefit Croteam\u00a0after\u00a0Serious Sam 4 didn’t get the best reviews<\/a>. Obviously Devolver should have more of a say in what gets made and how, but odds are it\u00a0will respect the developer’s creative decisions. In its official statement, Devolver said, “Croteam will of course keep total creative freedom and Devolver Digital gets to keep making dumb recommendations that Croteam just ignores – we prefer it that way.”<\/p>\n

Odds are this will result in more titles coming from Croteam in the near future. There’s almost no danger of Devolver Digital<\/strong> running into trouble\u00a0with a wealth of titles under its belt and a nose for great indie games to publish, and it seems\u00a0Devolver keeps on showing AAA publishers how its done<\/a>.<\/p>\n
