Good Games Group acquires Humble Games, rebranded to Balor Games

Good Games Group, a company established by former Humble Games staff back in 2024 following a restructuring that saw all staff laid off, has purchased Humble Games from Ziff Davis and rebranded it to Balor Games, the company announced.

The purchase includes rights to over 60 titles, including Slay the Spire, A Hat in Time, SIGNALIS, Forager, Coral Island, Monaco, and Wizard of Legend, as well as the back catalogue of closed publisher Firestoke.

Balor Games is led by former Humble Games leaders Alan Patmore and Mark Nash, and aims to be a “cultural curator” for “triple-I” titles, delivering the resources and expertise of an experienced publisher while preserving the creative independence that defines great games.

“For the developers we have worked with over the years, this moment is a reunion,” said Balor Games CEO Alan Patmore in a press release. “The same leadership, and the same commitment to thoughtful publishing remain in place. What changes is our scale and our focus. Balor Games is built for inventors and backed by believers. To that end, it exists to be a seal of quality for independent games.”

Balor Games has also signed an agreement with Affray Interactive to publish tactical horror first-person shooter SCP: 5K, which is currently in Early Access for PC via Steam.
