Starbreeze Entertainment and Melbot Studios today
announce GodsTV, a multi-player "cartoon punk", top down
action title, stylized, irreverent and frantic, set for release in
early 2026. Starbreeze will support Melbot Studios with funding for
the game's development, marketing, community management and release
management.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- In GodsTV players are contestants in a
deranged TV- show, a mashup of action, humor, and bizarre
characters. Alien corporations, who present themselves as "Gods",
offer players unique abilities and products (guaranteed lethal!) to
fight for ultimate stardom. Choose your God, unlock their powers
and weapons, and venture solo or in teams into an edgy and
irreverent new universe. It's not all slaughter & laughter
though - show off your style and swag to earn the favor of the
Gods… and your followers. Because in this show, real online viewers
can impact the fate of the players. Are you ready to chase
megastardom?
GodsTV is being developed by Melbot Studios, previously known
for the Melbits™ IP and a seasoned team forged from both indie and
AAA titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Apex Legends,
Evil Dead, Endling and Gris.
Starbreeze Entertainment will publish the game and support
GodsTV and Melbot Studios with development funding, release
management, marketing, community management, data management and
analytics.
"Meeting the Melbot team is like being slapped by pure creative
drive, and GodsTV is where their punk style and ambition really
comes out to play. GodsTV is one of the strongest pitches I've ever
seen, and I can't wait to share this game with the world - it's
going to rock", says Gustav Nisser,
Head of Third Party Publishing, Starbreeze Entertainment.
"Since we met the team at Starbreeze we felt we got something
big, they identified what makes this game special and pushed us to
be ambitious and bold and ridiculous. In a landscape where
publishers are afraid to dare, Starbreeze double dared us to be
ourselves, and that *bleep*ing matters. ", Josema Roig, Co-founder of Melbot Studios.
