Humble Games, through it’s publishing label, has published titles such as SIGNALIS, a fixed camera angle sci-fi survival horror game that we thoroughly enjoyed, and Coral Island, a farming sim that slots into the “cozy” genre that naturally including farming and romance.

According to a statement from Humble Games, titles currently in development will remain unaffected by the closing of the publishing label. The statement came after the reports that the publishing label had been shuttered entirely from former employees that worked as part of the division. As of July 23, 2024 there has been no word from developers that have received funding from Humble Games on current, in-development projects, about this affecting their titles.

This restructuring will not affect employees or activities concerned with the Humble Bundle section of the company. On October 17, 2017 Humble Bundle was acquired by IGN Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ziff Davis. Under Ziff Davis, IGN Entertainment has gone on to acquire the Gamer Network, which includes Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and VG427.
