505 Games to make own games. New IP reveal in the next couple of weeks

505 Games switches focus to developing its own IP
Publisher 505 Games says it is determined to develop its own brands going forward.
The firm, celebrating its tenth birthday this month, traditionally partners with other studios’ titles, and has helped turn Terraria, Cooking Mama, Payday and Zumba Fitness into smash hits.
505 boss Ian Howe told MCV that he’s not turning his back on these partnerships, but the firm is now looking to create its own hits.
“A lot of our past success has come from other people’s games, and whilst we’re happy to still have this play a part in our future, it’s critical that we develop our own brands,” he told us.
“We’ve been working hard on unannounced IPs that will launch in the next couple of years. We encourage everyone at 505 to think about the types of games they want to make. If we think the idea is strong enough, then we’ll make it. In that respect we’re taking an approach closer to that of a developer than a publisher.”
He added: “We have an exciting new wholly-owned IP to unveil in the next couple of weeks.”

报道称505 Games将自行开发新IP 或近期公开
近日著名的游戏厂商505 Games迎来了它的十岁生日,而最新的报道显示,他们已经决心开发他们自己的全新IP。
日前在接受国外媒体MCV的采访时,505 Games的Ian Howe透露了他们的这一想法。近一段时间他们也继续和自己的一些传统合作伙伴推出了不少作品,他们并不打算放弃这种合作关系,不过该公司目前正试图打造自己的IP。
“过去我们很多的成功经验来源于其他人的游戏,而我们也很高兴在未来仍然会扮演这样的角色,这也是我们发展自主品牌的关键。”
“我们一直在努力打造预计会在未来几年推出但尚未公布的IP。我们鼓励在505中的每个人去思考他们想要打造的游戏类型。如果我们认为某个点子足够好,那么我们就会制作它。在这方面,比起发行商,我们采取的方法更接近开发商。”
而最后Ian Howe还透露,他们有一个全新的完全属于自己的IP将在未来的几周内公布。虽然目前尚不清楚该IP到底是什么,不过还是令人充满期待。
