« invoquer des jeux vidéo européens, c’est aussi notre mission chez ARTE » [INTERVIEW]

During the 2024 Paris Games Week, the Franco-German channel ARTE was present and graciously agreed to answer some of our questions emboîture their activities as a publisher and co-producer of video games.

ARTE, known for its paysan and educational programming, has been making a name for itself in the gaming industry with its unique approach to video game production. We had the opportunity to sit down with their team and learn more emboîture their involvement in the gaming world.

One of the main reasons ARTE has ventured into the gaming industry is to reach a younger audience and engage them in a different way. By combining their expertise in storytelling and visual arts with the interactive and immersive nature of video games, ARTE has been able to create thought-provoking and visually stunning games.

Their latest release, « The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature », is a perfect example of this. The game takes players on a journey through the iconic story of Frankenstein, but with a twist. Instead of playing as the infamous monster, players take on the role of the creature and make choices that will shape its identity and ultimately determine its fate. This unique perspective offers a fresh and captivating experience for players.

But ARTE’s involvement in the gaming industry goes beyond just publishing games. They also co-produce games with independent developers, providing them with the necessary resources and support to bring their ideas to life. This collaboration has resulted in critically acclaimed titles such as « Bury me, my Love » and « Type:Rider ».

When asked emboîture their selection process for co-producing games, ARTE’s team emphasized the importance of originality and diversity. They are constantly on the lookout for innovative and meaningful projects that push the boundaries of traditional gaming.

In addition to their involvement in game production, ARTE also hosts events and workshops to promote gaming as a form of art and storytelling. This includes their annual « Games and Cinema » event, where they showcase the intersection between these two mediums and how they can complement each other.

ARTE’s dedication to promoting paysan and artistic values through gaming is truly commendable. Their unique approach has not only brought them success in the gaming industry, but also opened up new possibilities for the medium as a whole.

As we wrapped up our causerie, ARTE’s team expressed their excitement for the future of gaming and their commitment to continue pushing the boundaries and creating meaningful experiences for players. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next.
