The debut game from UNTIES, a publishing label that’s dedicated to unleashing unique games into the world — with a focus on INDIES!
First Title: TINY METAL is coming out on November 21st!!
Sony Music Entertainment (HQ: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Mizunori Michino, hereby abbreviated as SME) has created a new game publishing label called UNTIES, in order to penetrate the ever-expanding video game market with indie games, which are continuing to draw attention even within Japan.
Recent progress in the game development world has made it possible for even small-scale production teams to create high-quality games. The evolution of digital publishing has also made it possible for creators to deliver their own titles to consumers all around the world, which spawned an indie game movement centered around North America.
Conversely, this has created an unfortunate side effect where certain creative, unique titles end up getting buried in the market without getting the proper exposure they deserve. UNTIES hopes to unearth high-quality titles like these and utilize SME’s vast entertainment business wisdom in order to expose them to as many consumers as possible. UNTIES will also handle PR and sales on multiple platforms.
Where does the name UNTIES come from?
– Unleashing unique games and unparalleled creative talent unto the entire world.
We intend to free creators from the myriad ties that bind them when it comes to publishing their games. We also vow to make free, limitless publishing a reality.
■UNTIES’ First Title: TINY METAL
Destiny intertwines on the battlefield!
UNTIES’ first title is TINY METAL, a classic style strategy sim created by AREA35, a new studio led by spirited young creator Hiroaki Yura.
Despite the fact that the game is built off the classic turn-based strategy genre, it’s filled with brand-new systems and unique twists on old favorites.
On November 21st (JST), the game will be released worldwide on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. TINY METAL’s fusion of classic turn-based strategy battles and cutting-edge 3D graphics powered by Unreal Engine is sure to entertain fans all around the world.
