Deep Silver

Deep Silver is a games publishing label owned by Koch Media. It is best known for publishing the Saints Row series, Dead Island series and many other third-party publishing deals.

The company was founded in 2002 as a division of Plaion (formerly Koch Media). The company is best known for publishing the games: Dead Island, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Metro, and Saints Row. Anarchy Online: The Notum Wars was Deep Silver’s first release.

Deep Silver Inc. was opened in Los Angeles in 2008 as a subsidiary, with Deep Silver primarily based in Europe before this date. The studio Games That Matter became part of Deep Silver in 2007 under the name Deep Silver Vienna, although it only produced one game, Cursed Mountain, before being shut down in 2010.

In 2013, Deep Silver acquired Volition as well as the rights to the Metro series. In the same year, Deep Silver announced its plan to expand into mobile games and bought into Infernum Productions, a free-to-play games developer based in Berlin.

Fishlabs, was then acquired by Deep Silver and became the company’s mobile game studio. It was then renamed as Deep Silver Fishlabs as it was an asset deal and was reorganized to become a division.
