The cooperation with Platige Image is the latest endeavor of Movie Games in the AA/Indie Premium segment. In November 2020, the company invested in Brave Lamb Studio. The team of 14 top specialists from the game development industry, formerly associated with such studios as Techland, is creating Field Hospital, a manager of a World War I medical facility located near the frontlines.

The players will have to make morally challenging decisions regarding the lives of individual soldiers, the hospital defences as well as its equipment, while managing limited resources.

Field Hospital will be the first next-gen game in the studio’s portfolio. Movie Games is producing the game and will publish it globally.
