Kepler Interactive

Global video game publisher and games-investment group co-owned and operated by its developer-members. Legal entity: Kepler Interactive Limited. Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with an additional office in Singapore (per en-wiki and official site: 'a video game company and creative studio headquartered in London'; originally registered/announced with Singapore as its formal base). FOUNDED 2 April 2020 (per en-wiki), publicly announced/launched 28 September 2021 at the initiative of former Ubisoft employee Alexis Garavaryan (per Wikipedia, Game Developer, GamesIndustry.biz, Pocket Gamer, ResetEra coverage). Described as 'the first global game publisher co-owned and run by developers'. At launch raised USD 120 million first financing round led by NetEase (per uktech.news 2021) to capitalize the group. SEVEN FOUNDING STUDIO-MEMBERS / CO-OWNERS: (1) A44 Games (Auckland NZ — Ashen, Flintlock); (2) Alpha Channel; (3) Awaceb (France/New Caledonia — Tchia); (4) Ebb Software (Serbia — Scorn); (5) Shapefarm; (6) Sloclap (France — Sifu, Absolver); (7) Timberline/Mechanistry (Timberborn). Publishing portfolio: Sifu (Sloclap 2022), Scorn (Ebb 2022), Tchia (Awaceb 2023), Pacific Drive (Ironwood 2024), Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (A44 2024), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive 2025 — Kepler-published global breakout hit), Rematch (Sloclap, June 2025 — 5v5 online football, 5 million unique players in its first month per GamesIndustry.biz and 7.5 million unique players by mid-2026 per Push Square; Rematch: Elite Edition retail edition 2026). SISTER ENTITY — KOWLOON NIGHTS (SHARED MANAGEMENT, NOT CORPORATE PARENT): Kepler's CEO and co-founder Alexis Garavaryan is also CEO and co-founder of Kowloon Nights (Hong Kong/Vancouver VC fund established 2017 with Jay Chi). The two companies share executive leadership but are separate legal entities with distinct corporate structures and ownership: Kowloon Nights is a Garavaryan/Chi-led VC fund; Kepler Interactive is co-owned by the 7 developer-members plus NetEase as lead investor. PARTNERSHIP MODEL: Per 80.lv (2022) — 'Kepler partnered with the video game fund Kowloon Nights to establish an internal games funding arm'. Kowloon Nights serves as Kepler's strategic funding partner / advisory deal-flow source, and is itself one of Kepler's early investors (per Wikipedia 'Kepler Interactive'). HIERARCHY: Both entities remain independent (parent=None) — shared CEO is a personal-union management relationship, NOT a parent/subsidiary corporate ownership. Atlas note: of the 7 founding studio-members, none currently in Atlas with separate Moby refs; when those studios receive Atlas representation, Kepler should be re-evaluated for promotion to Global HQ. MobyGames: Published (51) + Funded by (1). Moby record: 'Kepler Interactive Limited'.
