Kepler Interactive, like Hooded Horse, has built a killer portfolio of acclaimed games. Expedition 33 success shouldn’t be a surprise
Meet Kepler Interactive, the publisher behind hits like Sifu, Scorn, and Expedition 33. With a portfolio like that, I’m excited to see Solasta 2 being developed under their wing.

What sets Kepler apart is its co-ownership model, where partner studios keep creative control but also get to collaborate and share resources. Their recent investment in Solasta) highlights that approach – giving without getting in the way.
Kepler also lets studios choose their own paths, like using Early Access if it fits their vision. And beyond games, they’re branching out into fashion and art collabs, proving they see games as part of something bigger.
In the traditional publishing model, devs often lose full creative control in exchange for funding and marketing . But that approach is starting to feel like a thing of the past, especially with more developer-friendly companies like Kepler Interactive on the rise. They’re not here to squeeze developers dry, but instead to them and collaborate on a more equal footing.
Bottom line: Kepler Interactive is all in on originality, creativity, and giving devs the freedom to do their best work, and let’s just say, we can definitely see that.
