Former staff from Versus Evil have founded a brand new indie publisher called Digital Bandidos.
The venture has been set up by ex-general manager Steve Escalante – who is the company’s CEO – while former production chief Lance James is to serve as executive producer.
Digital Bandidos is going to be focusing on PC and console games that require budgets of less than $3 million.
“I’ve spent the first half of 2024 talking with studios in North America and Europe about the challenges they face in today’s market,” Escalante said.
“The message is clear: they need good partners, funding, expertise in publishing, and help to bring their products to fruition.
“That means continuing the journey I started over ten years ago of championing the indie game developer. We have even better tools, more experience, a proven track record, and an amazing team. We couldn’t be happier with the direction we are headed in and are incredibly excited about the future of Digital Bandidos.”
