Evil Empire, the studio that grew from four co-founders to 50 developers, recently reflected on its history with Dead Cells. CEO Thomas Pfeiffer and Head of Business Ben Laulan noted that while they will always miss the roguelike that established their studio, they have successfully transitioned toward new projects.
The studio has expanded its operations significantly, moving beyond its initial support role to launch titles like The Rogue Prince of Persia and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Currently, the team is scaling up a live-ops division, which includes work on Brotato and potential future partnerships.
When asked about a potential dream collaboration, Pfeiffer and Laulan confirmed they are already working on such a project. While they declined to share specific details, citing that it is too early to discuss, they expressed significant excitement regarding this upcoming endeavor.
Looking ahead, the studio aims to balance its current work with the long-term goal of developing its own original intellectual property. For now, the team remains focused on producing high-quality games while managing multiple projects in parallel, as they continue to refine their internal expertise.
