This investment grants tinyBuild a majority stake in the studio and will be used for development of an unnamed project for next-generation consoles.
This investment strengthens our line-up for next-gen consoles, led by Hello Neighbor 2 and expands upon the laid back culture we’re facilitating within tinyBuild and the in-house studios. Together with Hologryph we have learned how to expand franchises effectively. Hologryph’s team worked closely with us on Party Hard 2 as a co-developer and created Hello Neighbor’s multiplayer spin-off, Secret Neighbor. Now we’re working together on building a brand new, exciting and unique world where players will lose themselves for thousands of hours – with a focus on next-generation consoles

Game publisher TinyBuild announced that it has invested $3 million into game studio Hologryph, the development team behind the hit multiplayer game Secret Neighbor. The deal gives TinyBuild a majority stake in the Ukranian studio. The two companies have also worked together on stealth-strategy game Party Hard 2. And now Hologryph is working on Hello Neighbor 2, which revealed during Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest as a PC/Xbox Series X exclusive title with a 2021 release date.
Meanwhile, the Hello Neighbor franchise has already surpassed 60 million downloads across all platforms – PC, Xbox One, PS4, Google Stadia, Android, iOS and Nintendo Switch. The series hit the 30 million installs mark in April 2020. Furthermore, due to the success of Hello Neighbor, a new animated TV show was created.
