"We have the same standards for quality, originality, and sustainability in games. I am convinced that Helvetiq will continue and enrich my line of games, in an appropriate manner with wonderful new ideas. I do not see any other publisher in the scene that would have been a better fit to carry on my heritage.”

Helvetiq's skilled team will work closely on Steffen Spiele’s games to optimize their production processes, marketing strategies, and distribution channels, ensuring that these cherished games continue to delight and inspire players for years to come.
