Publishing Agreement Signed with The Outer Zone
The announcement confirms that 11 bit studios will publish the upcoming deck‑builder title “Death Howl,” developed by Danish studio The Outer Zone. The game centers on Ro, a grieving mother who confronts enemies in a Stone Age‑inspired Norse kingdom to reunite with her deceased son. The release is scheduled for 2025 on PC platforms. This publishing partnership expands 11 bit studios’ portfolio into the narrative‑driven deck‑builder genre, complementing its existing action and adventure titles. The collaboration leverages The Outer Zone’s creative vision while providing 11 bit studios with a new IP that aligns with its focus on immersive storytelling and unique gameplay mechanics. The announcement is issued by the Management Board of 11 bit studios, with Przemysław Marszał and Grzegorz Miechowski listed as the President and a Board member, respectively. The release date and platform details are specified, but no further financial terms or distribution arrangements are disclosed. Geographically, the agreement targets the global PC market, with no regional restrictions noted. The time frame is limited to a 2025 launch window, indicating an upcoming development cycle that will likely involve marketing and localization efforts in the months leading up to release. Overall, the report serves as a formal disclosure of a new publishing contract, highlighting 11 bit studios’ strategic move to broaden its genre offerings and strengthen ties with international developers.

Games from 11 bit studios’ Publishing Portfolio Approaching Release: Q1 2023
11 bit studios’ first‑quarter 2023 financials show a revenue of PLN 14.8 million, EBITDA of PLN 3.0 million and net profit exceeding PLN 2.46 million, slightly below the same period in 2022 but still above internal forecasts. The decline is partly attributed to a high‑base effect from the previous year’s exceptional sales of *This War of Mine* during February–March 2022, when the company donated weekly proceeds to the Ukrainian Red Cross. The current quarter’s profit was also influenced by revenue from the board‑game version of *Frostpunk* and a revaluation gain on an equity stake in Starward Industries, which owns *The Invincible*. Investment in development rose 28.2 % year‑on‑year to PLN 12.14 million, reflecting a strategy of increasing spend on both proprietary and third‑party titles as release dates approach. The publishing pipeline for 2023 includes *The Invincible* and *The Thaumaturge*, developed by Fool’s Theory, with promotional campaigns boosting their Steam wishlist rankings. The company anticipates that these releases will significantly lift 2023 financial results, supported by ongoing monetisation of established titles such as *Frostpunk* and *This War of Mine*. Long‑term growth is expected to hinge on upcoming proprietary projects—*Frostpunk 2*, *The Alters*, and an unnamed “Project 8”—all slated for launch by the end of 2025. The company’s cash cushion and solid Q1 performance underpin its focus on expanding both its own development slate and publishing portfolio across the global video‑game market.
