About Modern Wolf
Modern Wolf is a London-based independent video game publisher focused on PC and console games. Founded in April 2019 and publicly launched that August, the company works with independent developers through publishing, financing, marketing and production support. Its role is principally that of a publisher, with games developed by the independent teams credited alongside each release.
Its publishing focus centres on what it calls “forever games”: deeply replayable, systemic titles that players can return to and master over time. The portfolio spans strategy and strategy-adjacent games, tactical roguelikes, survival extraction games and soulslikes. This gives the catalogue a particular emphasis on intricate systems and replayability across otherwise different genres.
Publishing and developer support
Modern Wolf offers full-service publishing that combines developer financing with global marketing, public relations, community management and player engagement. Its support also covers quality assurance, production assistance, porting and platform distribution, including Steam and console markets. These activities connect its work with development partners to the commercial release and ongoing distribution of their games.
Selected publishing work
The catalogue includes ZERO Sievert, the 2D post-apocalyptic extraction shooter developed by CABO Studio, which entered Steam Early Access in late 2022. Modern Wolf also publishes ZERO Sievert 2 and Void Sols, the minimalist geometric soulslike developed by Finite Reflection Studios and launched in 2024.
Other publishing credits include Cantata, Out There: Oceans of Time, Witch Strandings, Skeleton Crew, Mechajammer, Rogue State Revolution, Kosmokrats and Necronator: Dead Wrong. It is also a publishing partner for Blue Bottle Games’ Ostranauts.
Established with backing from Supernova Capital, Modern Wolf operates under the direct ownership of Supernova Corporation Limited, with Wedgwood FIC Limited identified as its ultimate parent.
