Powerhouse: Supporting the Next Generation of Big, Bold Games
With Atomic Heart now cemented as a modern cult classic, Mundfish is launching Mundfish Powerhouse: a creative label focused on helping other developers and investors turn ambitious concepts into game-changing hits.
Powerhouse is not a traditional publisher—it’s a creative and operational partner offering hands-on support from concept to launch. The goal? Fewer, bigger, bolder projects built to shake up the industry—not just another handful of indie hits. “We’ll only partner with projects where we see great potential to make noise. Not just a handful of indie hits, but big and bold games that can set a new standard for quality and creative risk,” says Bagratuni.
- Full production expertise and high-end tools
- Scalable pipelines and hands-on creative support
- A vision for fewer, bigger, risk-taking games
Mundfish Powerhouse is already working with partners behind the scenes—expect more news soon.
