Kinetic Publishing prepares its first slate after receiving hundreds of submissions

The Phasmophobia developer's publishing arm scheduled a debut showcase for its first 2027 and 2028 releases after reviewing hundreds of indie pitches.

Kinetic Publishing, the label created by Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games, announced its first showcase to reveal projects planned for 2027 and 2028. The presentation was designed to introduce the label's initial wave of external games and confirm platforms and release windows.

Kinetic says it received hundreds of submissions after opening the publishing operation. Its stated focus is hands-on financial, legal, marketing and development support for a small slate of teams with clear creative direction. The volume of pitches provides a useful signal about funding demand among independent studios, while the small-slate approach sets expectations that selection will remain highly competitive.
