December 19, 2024 - Hooded Horse is excited to share that it’s partnered with Mimimi Games to take over publishing duties across all platforms for the legendary studio’s final title – Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew.
Released in August 2023, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is the ultimate stealth strategy game, set in a fantastical vision of the Caribbean and the Age of Piracy. Take control of a cursed ghost ship with a living soul and assemble a cursed pirate crew as players must search for the mysterious treasure of the legendary Captain Mordechai, all while evading the menacing forces of the Inquisition.
In December 2023, the game received two DLC packs – Zagan’s Ritual and Yuki’s Wish, which can be purchased individually or via the game’s Complete Edition. Hooded Horse’s publishing rights extend across all versions of the game (PC & consoles), and Shadow Gambit will be integrated into the publisher’s standard suite of services for released titles.
“We are honored and humbled that Mimimi chose us to be a part of Shadow Gambit’s journey,” says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender. “This game is the pinnacle of stealth strategy games, and we’re looking forward to helping it maintain the long-term success it deserves.”
“Shadow Gambit is in its final form, and we’re excited to be partnering with Hooded Horse for its ongoing commercial needs,” says Mimimi Co-Founder Johannes Roth. “We’re very impressed by their approach to indie publishing and are confident they will help the game reach even more players.”
The game is localized from English into German (including audio), French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is available on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The base game sells for an RRP of $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99. A press kit is available.
