“Robot Teddy is already highly regarded in the industry thanks to our work with partners on globally recognised brands like Gang Beasts and many more. The new leadership team will bring the support and services we are able to provide to our partners to new heights, as we continue to work with them on creating and achieving their goals, as well as adding sensational new projects like Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Vampire Survivors to our portfolio."

Having the flexibility to engage with developers on a whole variety of terms is a vital part of Thunderful’s strategy as a company and it's this approach that has allowed Robot Teddy to work on the likes of Vampire Survivors, as well as exciting upcoming projects like STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl."
