Humble Games revealed their games roadmap for 2022 and beyond, with the publishing arm showing off nine new titles to come in their Humble Games Showcase. Humble Games is investing deeper into iconic indie IPs, acquiring the rights to the Monaco franchise from series creator Andy Schatz, for one.
Monaco 2 will be the first new wholly owned title in the Humble Games portfolio, while retaining the original’s roots with Pocketwatch Games’ Schatz returning as creative director. Summerfall Studios’ Stray Gods is receiving Humble Games’ support as well. Other partnerships announced include Coral Island, Moonscars, Ghost Song, SIGNALIS, Infinite Guitars, Chinatown Detective Agency and The Iron Oath.
