We are very happy that this step allows us to focus on the production of high-quality indie games and to grow into a well-known game studio while staying true to our core values", says Tim Schroeder, CEO of the Massive Miniteam.

Massive Miniteam is a motivated and highly creative development team working with HandyGames on several titles like their co-op multiplayer mayhem Spitlings, the console ports of Little Big Workshop from Mirage Game Studios, and of Chicken Police from The Wild Gentlemen. The Pulheim based game studio is also keen on working with new technologies like Google Stadia or next-gen consoles and will focus on creating new game titles based on its own and external IPs.

The company will be fully integrated into the HandyGames organization while the founders will focus on managing and growing Massive Miniteam to an attractive, diverse, and multicultural place to work on awesome games in the attractive Cologne region and North Rhine-Westphalia.
