Despite the crisis in the industry, the number of publishers is increasing.
Battlestate Games, known as the developer of Escape from Tarkov, announced the creation of a division that will handle the publication of third-party projects. It is called Battlestate Games Publishing.

Key points:
- The publishing studio does not plan to claim IP rights;
