After a successful kickstarter campaign, independent French developer Enigami still needed some assistance in completing their new hybrid fighter/RPG mix for it's early 2016 release. Focus Home Interactive was impressed with the project and has since taken over publishing the title for its upcoming release on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC.
Cédric Lagarrigue, Managing Partner of Focus: "Focus Home Interactive is working with international studios, but also naturally partners with French studios now renowned such as DontNod, Cyanide, Eugen Systems, Spiders Games, and more. Discovering and supporting new talented local studios, and helping them grow is something deeply anchored in Focus' DNA. Enigami is one of these young and passionate French studios Focus Home Interactive would love to see emerge in this very competitive industry."
Enigami studios provides a desciption of Shiness, stating that it is "Halfway between a dynamic fights’ manga and the fantasy of an RPG, discover the amazing universe of Shiness !" There is stil no release date set for Shiness The Lightning Kingdom but an early 2016 release window has been tentatively announced.
