Overview

• Lyrical Games launched August 4 as a privately funded indie publisher backed by Lyrical Media’s multi-million-dollar investment.
• The executive team is led by Blake Rochkind of Private Division and includes Roger Kurtz alongside veterans from Devolver Digital, Humble Games and Microsoft.
• The publisher targets mid-scale “triple-I” titles that bridge smaller indie and AAA productions and guarantees developers retain IP ownership.
• Three games are already in production, including a new title from Blackbird Interactive, with official announcements expected in late 2025.
• First releases are slated for 2026 as the company seeks to empower creative teams during a risk-averse phase in the gaming industry.
