Jackbox Games, the studio behind the popular Jackbox Party Packs, is expanding its portfolio of games. The company has announced that it will be developing and publishing new titles that are not part of the traditional party pack format. This is a significant move for Jackbox Games, which has been releasing a multi-platform party pack containing five games every year since 2014.

The Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Allard Laban spoke to GameDeveloper about the growing company. The party packs have been a critical and commercial success, and they have helped to make Jackbox Games one of the most popular independent game studios in the world.

Streamers have helped to popularize Jackbox Games by showcasing the games to their audiences. They have also helped to create a sense of community around the games, and they have provided valuable feedback to the developers.

“I always think of our Twitch users and broadcasters as almost like our salespeople. They’re the people who are showing how to play it, how to have fun with it. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

The decision to expand beyond the party pack format is a reflection of Jackbox Games’ desire to reach a wider audience. The company is hoping to create new games that appeal to different types of players, including those who are not familiar with the Jackbox Party Packs.

There has been no announcement of specific plans for Jackbox Games’ new games, but the company says they will be adjacent to party packs. This suggests that the new games will share some of the same core values as the party packs, such as being fun, engaging, and easy to learn.

“You’ll see something different from us in the next couple of years—things that are adjacent to party packs potentially. We are being a little bit more introspective and thinking about the next 10 years. And 10 years goes by real fast!”

Jackbox Games is a small team, but it has a proven track record of success. The company is confident that it can create new games that are just as popular as the Jackbox Party Packs. The expansion of Jackbox Games’ portfolio is a positive development for the gaming industry. The company has a unique voice in the world of games, and its new titles are sure to be a welcome addition to the market.
