Neos Kicks Off Global Indie Game Publishing Business

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Neos has launched "IndieTech Games," a label dedicated to publishing high-quality indie games worldwide, including in Japan.

Neos entered the game development and publishing business for Nintendo Switch in 2019, starting with the release of "Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven-Day Journey" in Japan in 2021. The title later expanded to Asia, Europe, and North America in the following year, and eventually to the rest of the world, achieving cumulative shipments of over 500,000 units.
The latest title, "Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town," has also been released globally and has been well received, following the success of its predecessor with cumulative shipments exceeding 300,000 units.
Through the sales and marketing of our in-house developed titles, we have had more opportunities to engage with games from around the world. At the same time, we have also increasingly encountered indie games that, for various reasons, have not been distributed globally.
In response, Neos has launched a new label, "IndieTech Games," to bring high-quality indie games—those that developers or rights holders are unable to publish themselves—to gamers worldwide. Leveraging our experience in game planning, development, and marketing, we will discover and showcase unique and captivating indie titles, distributing them globally in collaboration with our network of regional partners.

At "IndieTech Games," we carefully select titles that, like Neos' in-house developed games, place great importance on characters, art, and storytelling. Our goal is to create a publishing label that developers feel truly glad to work with.
At launch, we plan to release the following three titles. Details on pricing and release dates will be announced separately.
