It has always been hard for smaller developers to get funding or make sure that their games don’t flop in the oversaturated market. However, things could get even bleaker, with Xbox and Epic Games reportedly cutting the size of deals they are offering.

It appears that a group of indie studios have decided to join forces for a mysterious collaboration. The so-called Triple-i Initiative brings together studios behind games like Vampire Survivors, Darkest Dungeon, Slay the Spire, and more.

Darkest Dungeon II has hit a new sales milestone ahead of its full launch. However, the numbers are much more modest compared to the first game.
