VP of Publishing Neil Haldar, said:

“I am happy to join the Streamline team in this period of incredible growth for the company and the industry. Accelerating Streamline’s existing publishing and live ops capabilities layers into Streamline’s future and growing publishing efforts.”

Publishing is not new for Streamline. They already previously released four original games on mobile, PC, and console. One of the games developed by Streamline is Bake ‘n Switch, a party brawler that features co-op and player-versus-player party action for up to four players with online multiplayer capabilities. It is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch.

This latest investment and expansion promises to deliver a new generation of original titles, developed using cutting-edge video game technology, including Unreal Engine 5.

Alexander Fernandez, CEO and Co-Founder of Streamline Media Group, said:

“Game development is core to who we are as a company. Expanding our publishing team with Neil and Stefan’s veteran experience reaffirms our commitment to creating original content and to exploring different ways to engage with our communities through various models of play.”

Streamline is building out a diverse portfolio showcasing its ever-expanding game development knowledge and expertise. They currently have five games in the greenlight process, ranging from a AAA console title, casual game, and a Real-Time-Strategy game.

Stefan Baier, EVP of Publishing and Co-Founder of Streamline Media Group, said:

“Over the past twenty years, we have established AAA co-development partnerships and built an accelerating pipeline of internal games. Our history demonstrates trust from some of the biggest names in gaming. Now, those gathered insights will guide us toward a new portfolio, partnerships, and progression in the industry.”

Streamline is currently hiring Level Artists and Game Programmers to work closely with the new publishing arm to guide and support the next generation of games.
