Announcing Dark Arts Syndicate
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Games Publisher Helmed by Ex-Meta Leadership Team Emerges from the Shadows
San Francisco, CA – May 23, 2026 – Dark Arts Syndicate, a full-service game publisher, suddenly appeared amidst an enormous cloud of smoke today. Coalesced from those who helped create the modern VR ecosystem at Oculus Publishing, deep inside the darkest halls of Meta, emerges a new force dedicated to helping those who dare build something extraordinary…
…by any means necessary.
“We’ve spent the past two decades watching…waiting…brewing…and perfecting our mastery of the dark arts of game publishing across all genres and segments. Now we’re ready to put our syndicate to work for our developers,” said Melissa Brown, CEO & Grand Witch, tapping her fingers together non-maniacally. “We have friends everywhere and we can partner at any stage of your project, from helping summon capital to transmuting development efforts to divining analytics. Plus, in a pinch we can just turn your competition into newts."
Backing Brown are COO & Chaos Transmuter Donal Gordon and CCO & Rainbow Summoner Coray Seifert along with a team of 14 games industry dark artists from the asset development, product management, and go to market houses, from clans like NVIDIA, Ubisoft, Scopely and THQ.
“We shall lift the veil of discoverability,” they all chanted in echoing unison.
The team is available for engagements with developers across traditional publishing, work-for-hire, and revenue share models, with a 50% announcement discount currently running on their Trailer in a Box service.
Please note: Announcement discount does not include newt-turning services.
