<h2 id="history">History</h2> <h3>Founding and initial development (2009–2012)</h3> <p>Devolver Digital was founded in <a href="/facts/Austin%2c_Texas/xpVP4t98">Austin, Texas</a>, by Harry Miller, Rick Stults, and <a href="/facts/Mike_Wilson_(executive)/b4usSIKH">Mike Wilson</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> The three had previously co-founded publishing companies <a href="/facts/Gathering_of_Developers/g5jntcjY">Gathering of Developers</a> in 1998, and <a href="/facts/Gamecock_Media_Group/44w9JYUg">Gamecock Media Group</a> in 2007.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> With both Gathering of Developers and Gamecock Media Group, the co-founders had envisioned a publishing model wherein the publisher would handle all logistical aspects of releasing a game, so that the developer could focus on developing the game itself.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> This included offering deals wherein the developers could keep all rights to their games.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> However, at the time of these companies' existences, the primary distribution channel for games was <a href="/facts/Retail/unzV9sPF">retail</a>, which was very costly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> As a result, both companies saw themselves acquired by larger companies at some point, and were dissolved shortly thereafter.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Devolver Digital thus aimed at not producing games in physical forms, and instead focusing publishing efforts for <a href="/facts/Digital_distribution/9gbe83sK">digital distribution</a> platforms, such as <a href="/facts/Steam_(service)/nrpWwLA9">Steam</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> </p><p>Devolver Digital started with six people, including the three founders, as well as founding partners Nigel Lowrie and Graeme Struthers, business partners from Gamecock.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> The company's establishment was announced on June 25, 2009.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a> As the company did not occupy any office, its mailing address was that of a bird feed shop owned by Stults until 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a> Their first game, announced alongside their formation, was <i><a href="/facts/Serious_Sam_HD%3a_The_First_Encounter/YD7JFBop">Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter</a></i>, a high-definition remake of the 2001 game <i><a href="/facts/Serious_Sam%3a_The_First_Encounter/YD7JFBop">Serious Sam: The First Encounter</a></i>, both developed by <a href="/facts/Croteam/FcjFAQ0P">Croteam</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> The original <i><a href="/facts/Serious_Sam/tfPvjhvn">Serious Sam</a></i> games were published by Gathering of Developers, and Croteam had continued working with Wilson and his partners while at Gamecock Media Group.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20"><sup>20</sup></a> Since Croteam's deal with Gathering of Developers allowed Croteam to retain the rights to the series, they were able to work with Devolver Digital on further titles beyond the ownership of Gathering of Developers' assets.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21"><sup>21</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22"><sup>22</sup></a> The partnership proved fruitful, and Croteam and Devolver Digital continued to co-operate for a high-definition remake of the second <i>Serious Sam</i> game, <i><a href="/facts/Serious_Sam%3a_The_Second_Encounter/vVavJjLA">Serious Sam: The Second Encounter</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23"><sup>23</sup></a> To avoid having to bring in investors or otherwise raise funding, Devolver Digital at first avoided signing titles other than <i>Serious Sam</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24"><sup>24</sup></a> The company then opted to work with smaller independent studios, such as the two-man team <a href="/facts/Vlambeer/1AG0p5J4">Vlambeer</a>, to produces <a href="/facts/Indie_game/yacpsYTA">indie games</a> based on <i>Serious Sam</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25"><sup>25</sup></a> Between 2011 and 2012, these partnership produced four <a href="/facts/Spin-off_(media)/guqnLDLG">spin-off</a> games based on <i>Serious Sam</i>, known as the <i>Serious Sam Indie Series</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26"><sup>26</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27"><sup>27</sup></a> </p><p>Following their success with the <i>Serious Sam Indie Series</i>, Devolver Digital became more open to other independent studios.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28"><sup>28</sup></a> The company signed a few new games, but also had to reject many offers due to a lack of capacities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29"><sup>29</sup></a> One of the games they signed was <i><a href="/facts/Hotline_Miami/GuVnNhW8">Hotline Miami</a></i> by the two-man studio <a href="/facts/Dennaton_Games/7rTzw5YJ">Dennaton Games</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> The game, released in 2012, became Devolver Digital's breakout hit; it received critical praise, appeared on multiple "Best of 2012" lists, and sold over 1,700,000 copies by February 2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a><a

March 2013, at the <a href="/facts/SXSW_Film_Festival/KXXcJwfF">SXSW Film Festival</a>, Devolver Digital announced Devolver Digital Films, a <a href="/facts/Film_distribution/mSCKYlfM">film distribution</a> subsidiary.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35"><sup>35</sup></a> The partnership would be led by Devolver Digital's Wilson, alongside Andie Grace, who became <a href="/facts/Vice-president/Vw7SgL7T">vice-president</a> of acquisitions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36"><sup>36</sup></a> In the films business, Wilson had previously produced the film <i>Austin High</i>, while Grace had held oversight roles for film projects created at the <a href="/facts/Burning_Man_Festival/bfvsJGbR">Burning Man Festival</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37"><sup>37</sup></a> Devolver Digital cited the lack of support for independent filmmakers at the point of distribution and financial support in production as primary reason for the opening.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38"><sup>38</sup></a> </p><p>Devolver continued to expand its publishing catalog from 2013, publishing roughly ten games per year. They have typically focused on smaller indie developers, and while they are often associated with weird and bizarre games, such as <i><a href="/facts/Genital_Jousting/NYm68hJ3">Genital Jousting</a></i>, this is only by happenstance, according to Wilson.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39"><sup>39</sup></a> Wilson withdrew from active involvement in Devolver Digital in 2017. Throughout 2020, he sold much of his stock back to the publisher and to <a href="/facts/NetEase/KE30RyJC">NetEase</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40"><sup>40</sup></a> Wilson went on to found another publisher, DeepWell Digital Therapeutics, alongside Nextern founder Ryan Douglas in March 2022.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41"><sup>41</sup></a> </p><p>In August 2020, Devolver Digital published <a href="/facts/Mediatonic/kjD3CoSv">Mediatonic</a>'s <i><a href="/facts/Fall_Guys/u1Hoobs4">Fall Guys</a></i>. The game was commercially successful, generating $150.5 million by the end of 2020. In March 2021, <a href="/facts/Epic_Games/aoS4cGsK">Epic Games</a> acquired Mediatonic, as part of which Devolver Digital sold all its publishing rights of certain Mediatonic games, including <i>Fall Guys</i>. Devolver Digital used the proceeds from the game and the rights sale for expansion, including <a href="/facts/Mergers_and_acquisitions/YfczSf3M">mergers and acquisitions</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42"><sup>42</sup></a> </p><p>The first such acquisition was <a href="/facts/Croteam/FcjFAQ0P">Croteam</a> in October 2020.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43"><sup>43</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44"><sup>44</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45"><sup>45</sup></a> At the time, the company comprised several legal entities, which were consolidated into one entity in February 2021.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46"><sup>46</sup></a> Devolver Digital then acquired publisher <a href="/facts/Good_Shepherd_Entertainment/vsqg5Pjw">Good Shepherd Entertainment</a>, which had previously been majority-owned by Devolver Digital's executives, in January 2021.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47"><sup>47</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48"><sup>48</sup></a> Subsequently, the company bought developer Nerial (the developer of the <i><a href="/facts/Reigns_(video_game)/r4r9xVRV">Reigns</a></i> series) in April, <a href="/facts/Firefly_Studios/DVItBuEK">Firefly Studios</a> (<i>Stronghold</i> series) in June, and Dodge Roll (<i><a href="/facts/Enter_the_Gungeon/BCPUEc1U">Enter the Gungeon</a></i>) in July 2021.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49"><sup>49</sup></a> </p><p>Furthermore, the company hired Daniel Widdicombe as <a href="/facts/Chief_financial_officer/MUJ9Cggg">chief financial officer</a> in May 2021 and in the same year promoted Douglas Morin, who had joined the company as <a href="/facts/Chief_of_staff/Pg6Hkyuf">chief of staff</a> in 2020, to <a href="/facts/Chief_executive_officer/mg4A8y5M">chief executive officer</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50"><sup>50</sup></a> After indicating around May 2021 that it was looking to have an <a href="/facts/Initial_public_offering/2NntDhrG">initial public offering</a>, Devolver became a <a href="/facts/Public_company/tnJQvSdR">public company</a> on November 4, 2021, trading its stock under the <a href="/facts/Ticker_symbol/zaalBdU6">ticker symbol</a> DEVO on the <a href="/facts/Alternative_Investment_Market/NAv6KaDa">Alternative Investment Market</a> (AIM), a submarket of the <a href="/facts/London_Stock_Exchange/V2AbyhM5">London Stock Exchange</a>, initially valued at £694.6 million ($950 million).
