Mythwright

What Mythwright is

Mythwright is an independent game publisher. Its own press release describes it as an independent publisher based in the UK, founded by industry veterans and established in 2024. The company's about page says Mythwright was built by publishing and development veterans with experience across publishing, production, design, marketing, community and business development, and that it has launched titles as both a developer and a publisher.

The company maintains its own website, where it publishes a catalogue with individual product pages for each game, a news feed and a newsletter sign-up. Its Thronefall announcement directs readers to Mythwright's social channels on TikTok, Instagram, Bluesky and X for updates across its line-up. The publisher states that it launches a carefully curated selection of titles each year, and that this is why every release is treated as important to the company.

Working with developers

Mythwright's about page sets out how it describes its relationship with the studios it signs. It says there is no excessive chain of command, long sign-off processes or waiting months for a greenlight, and that developers work directly with decision-makers and leaders. It also states that the team is made up of publishing and development veterans with specialities across publishing, production, design, marketing, community and business development.

The same page describes a bespoke approach, with only a curated selection of titles launched each year so that each one receives dedicated time and attention, and a transparent one, promising full visibility on all activities and costs related to a game from the beginning and no hidden surprises at royalty reporting. Mythwright adds that it has a history of success in the simulation, management and strategy genres but remains open to pitches from similar genres.

Thronefall

On 18 December 2025 Mythwright announced that it had acquired the Thronefall IP. The announcement appeared on the company's own news page and was issued as a press release dated London, 18 December 2025. Thronefall was developed by Grizzly Games, a two-person team. The press release states that the game entered Early Access in 2023, launched on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2024, and came to mobile devices in 2025.

The same release states that Thronefall had sold over one million units and held an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam across more than 10,000 reviews at the time of the announcement. Mythwright said it would take over future development of the game, described Thronefall as a classic strategy and kingdom defence title, and said it would continue the partnership Grizzly Games had established with Doghowl Games, which publishes the mobile versions on Android and iOS. The publisher also opened a player survey to collect ideas for future content.

Catalogue and plans

Mythwright describes its output as a catalogue of niche titles. In the Thronefall announcement the publisher said it would launch Bladesong, Kaiju Cleanup, TerraTech Legion, Cozy Marbles, Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts and Deadstick - Bush Flight Simulator in 2026. The release says Thronefall joins a growing catalogue fostered by Mythwright, which it lists alongside titles including TerraTech, TerraTech Worlds, Galacticare, War for the Overworld and Going Medieval.

The publisher's Thronefall page presents the game as a minimalist strategy title in which the player builds a kingdom by day and defends it by night, balancing economy and defence, and describes it as a strategy game stripped back from unnecessary complexity. Mythwright keeps separate product pages for individual games on its own site and markets its titles through its own social channels and newsletter rather than through a single portal.
