Panic Button once again shows interest in creating an original IP

Panic Button has become the go-to dev for porting big-name games to the Switch. Their work on the platform is unparalleled, achieving some crazy-impressive results with their projects. Thus far it's been port after port for Panic Button, but could the dev be working on an original idea? Here's what Adam Creighton, Panic Button’s Studio General Manager and Director of Development, had to say.

"I think most developers want to make their own original game, and I would say we are no different. Where we are maybe different is we won’t ‘bet the farm’ on a new game, and if it doesn’t succeed, have the company go away. So, original IP is an explicit part of our portfolio strategy, we’re creative about how we do that, and we won’t risk the company on it."
