A British video game publisher and developer founded in 2009, known for publishing indie games and physical collector's editions.
About
Merge Games Ltd. is an indie-focused video game publisher based in Cheshire, England. The company specializes in publishing digital and physical releases of independent titles, including its premium "Signature Edition" physical runs. It has published games such as Aragami, The Count Lucanor, and Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles.
Founded in 2011 by Luke Keighran, the publisher established itself by partnering with global developers to bring digital-only titles to retail markets. This strategy helped bridge the gap for smaller studios seeking physical distribution on consoles like the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
Among its physical and digital distribution partnerships were the puzzle-adventure Candle and the physics-based platformer Unbox: Newbie's Adventure in 2017. The company expanded its reach by collaborating with various international developers, offering collector-focused physical packages that included soundtrack CDs, art books, and exclusive memorabilia.
In 2021, the company was acquired by the Swedish video game conglomerate Zordix, which later rebranded as Maximum Entertainment. Under this parent organization, it continued to operate as a distinct publishing label until September 2024, when Maximum Entertainment announced the closure of the brand as part of a corporate restructuring, consolidating its remaining operations and upcoming portfolio into the parent company's centralized publishing division.
