Hi there, Community!
We have some super exciting news for you!
We are proud to team up once again with the developers of Moonlighter and take on an ambitious project from Fool’s Theory! Both projects -- in various stages of development with further details coming in 2020 and beyond -- are bigger in scope than anything 11 bit has previously published.
“We’re still an extremely picky publisher. We’re probably even pickier than we were before if you can believe it! Our job is to hand-pick true gems and put our best efforts in with the development teams to help make them shine. We believe in boosting unique projects and using all the marketing magic we have to see them succeed. Right now, we’ve got two projects we’re really proud to have under our wing,” - Pawel Feldman, Publishing Director at 11 bit studios.
Details are sparse right now (gotta save all that marketing magic for later), but we can reveal the following:

We are beyond thrilled to be teaming up with Poland-based Fool’s Theory for their latest project, codenamed Vitriol. The studio behind the artfully created stealth title, Seven: The Days Long Gone, is developing a game best described as a meaningful RPG. Jakub Rokosz, CEO at Fool’s Theory says, “We are truly happy to align with 11 bit studios. They’re known for their ability to find the unique spirit in a game and I believe our upcoming title fits impeccably with the type of projects they like to work on.”
You might also say that we are ‘over the Moon(lighter)’ to be teaming up once more with Digital Sun Games. There’s nothing to divulge just yet, but rest assured that the hard-working Spanish developer is putting the same care and attention into their new project (codename Foxhole) as they did with their critically acclaimed indie hit, Moonlighter, but this time it’s a totally new IP. “We badly wanted to work with these guys again. As a team, we feel 11 bit did a great job with Moonlighter and we both want to do even better things together. It’s really as simple as that, ” says Javier Gimenez, CEO at Digital Sun Games.
And if you're willing to look for more clues, here's a short but very mysterious video:

We're very much excited for the things to come. We hope you're sharing this excitement with us now! Stay tuned!

We are happy to announce that Beat Cop is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. For the average price of a dozen donuts ($14.99 / €14.99), you can fill the shoes of disgraced detective Jack Kelly on his road to redemption after being framed for murder. Pa
We are happy to announce that Beat Cop is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
For the average price of a dozen donuts ($14.99 / €14.99), you can fill the shoes of disgraced detective Jack Kelly on his road to redemption after being framed for murder.
Patrolling the gritty streets of 1980's Brooklyn is no cake walk, and when you're a police officer who has been implicated for a murder you didn't commit, it's even harder. Jack Kelly's on a mission to clear his name in this pixel perfect homage to the cop shows of days gone by, and he can't do it without your help.
Watch the release trailer here:
https://youtu.be/LXVsCIgX-ow
Solve puzzling problems on the roughest of streets, help the local community, deal with dangerous mobsters and gangsters, be the good cop or take the odd bribe on the side, and finally, solve the mystery of a murder you’ve been framed for.
Features:

Retro pixel art experience with a non-linear story and multiple endings
The pure essence of ‘80s cop shows
Mature *ahem* humor
Laying down the law, one ticket at a time
Originally developed for PC by the indie team at Pixel Crow and published by 11 bit studios, Beat Cop: Console Edition has been brought to life by the sweet, huggable team at Crunching Koalas.

Hi there, everyone!
If you enjoyed Beat Cop, you may enjoy another pixel retro-inspired game that we've just released: Tower 57!
What is Tower 57?
Tower 57 is a TOP-DOWN TWIN STICK SHOOTER with 16-bit inspired pixel art, destructible environments and heavy focus on CO-OP. It is also a modern take on what made AMIGA games so great back in the days.
Here's Tower 57's launch trailer, with a cool, jazzy tune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7gdwGHMEgs
You can grab the game here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/530950/Tower_57/
Game features:

Fast-paced Arcade Gameplay - shoot everything that moves and don’t get killed in the process.
Unique Weapons and Characters - choose from a roster of six particular characters with different skillsets, number of upgradable weapons and gadgets.
Cooperation - Tower 57's main campaign is designed for both, single player & local/online CO-OP.
Dieselpunk World - times of randomly generated levels are gone - everything in Tower 57 is carefully designed and pixel-crafted with the highest attention to detail.
Destructible Environment - everything, from debris and shell casings to bloody footprints, will mark your destructive trail through the Tower.
LOTS of Enemies - and you'd better learn their vulnerabilities if you don't want to end up dead very quick.
DINOSAURS! - yup, we have dinosaurs.
Now GO and SPREAD THE MAYHEM!
