The PC version of Twin Mirror will be released exclusively via Epic Games store for a 12-month period. The financial terms of this partnership ensure a more advantageous distribution of revenues for Dontnod. Meanwhile, Dontnod Entertainment has acquired the rights of Twin Mirror in line with the strategy presented at the time of its IPO: strengthen its intellectual property portfolio and increase game profitability. Bandai Namco Entertainment, the publisher that launched the project with Dontnod Entertainment, will continue to be in charge of publishing, marketing and distribution on Xbox One, Microsoft's all-in-one games and entertainment system, and on PlayStation 4.

This strategic operation demonstrates our ability to leverage new market trends in our favor. The video game industry is currently undergoing major transformation and now offers a major competitive advantage to content creators such as Dontnod.”
