Overview

  • Playdead’s lawyers filed suit after Dino Patti shared a detailed account of Limbo’s development on LinkedIn, including an unauthorized photo owned by co-founder Arnt Jensen.
  • The studio alleges Patti breached confidentiality and falsely implied a significant creative role in Limbo, seeking 500,000 DKK in damages.
  • Patti departed Playdead in 2017 to found Jumpship, which released Somerville in 2022, and has accused Jensen of attempting to erase his contributions.
  • He notes that his placement in the credits of Limbo’s re-releases was lowered, which he takes as evidence of a broader effort to minimize his involvement.
  • With the case set to proceed to trial in Denmark, Patti says he will disclose all related materials to substantiate his role in creating Limbo and Inside.
