Two Tribes Publishing B.V. is a game development and publishing studio recognized for creating the puzzle-platformer Toki Tori and the 2D shooter-platformer Rive. In addition to developing original titles like Rubik's World, the company has published various physical and special editions of games, including Rive and the Ori Collector's Editions.
Founded in the Netherlands, the studio began its industry presence with the release of
Toki Tori (2001) for the Game Boy Color, a critically acclaimed title that established the company's reputation for intricate level design. Over the following decade, the team focused on puzzle-centric gameplay, culminating in the release of
Rubik's World (2008) for Nintendo platforms.
As market dynamics shifted, the company announced that the twin-stick shooter
Rive (2017) would be their final project as an active developer. To commemorate this transition, they produced specialized physical releases, including
Rive [Blue Box Limited Edition] (2017) and
Rive [Orange Box Limited Edition] (2017). This was followed by
RIVE: Ultimate Edition (2019), which optimized the experience for the Nintendo Switch with exclusive features.
In its subsequent role, the company shifted focus toward boutique publishing and distribution partnerships. This phase is highlighted by their involvement in bringing premium physical packages to market, such as
Ori [Collector's Edition] (2020) and
Ori [Collector’s Edition] (2021), ensuring high-quality physical preservation for celebrated independent titles.
