video game industry indie games Double Fine Tim Schafer Keeper game Kiln game Microsoft Studios Brütal Legend Broken Age Psychonauts

Double Fine, the game studio led by industry legend Tim Schafer, has long been celebrated for its offbeat and imaginative titles like Brütal Legend and Broken Age. However, after being acquired by Microsoft in 2019, the studio’s future seemed uncertain. For years, its only major release was the long-awaited sequel to Psychonauts.

Now, Double Fine appears to be on a creative upswing. In 2023, the studio launched Keeper, a surreal game centered around a sentient lighthouse. This week, it followed up with Kiln, a multiplayer brawler featuring adorable spirits and a heavy dose of pottery-themed chaos. Both games exemplify the studio’s signature eccentricity, proving that Double Fine’s unique identity is stronger than ever under Microsoft’s ownership.

With Keeper and Kiln, Double Fine is not only surviving but thriving, delivering the kind of oddball delights that have defined its legacy.
