Reforged Studios announced they’ve acquired Headup, the German indie games publisher.

While financial info for the transaction wasn’t disclosed, the new acquisition brings Headup and their titles like Bridge Constructor, Pumpkin Jack, and Super Meat Boy 3D under their umbrella.

Under the new acquisition, Headup will continue doing what they do best – publishing and supporting standout indie games – now supported by Reforged’s wider network and expertise. The team remains the same to with no layoffs or redundancies.

“Headup has built one of the most respected and carefully curated portfolios in independent publishing,” said Reforged CEO Peter van der Watt in a press release. “Their reputation has been earned through consistent developer advocacy and a clear editorial vision.

“Bringing that capability into Reforged materially strengthens our publishing platform and accelerates our long–term growth strategy. This acquisition is not about consolidation for its own sake. It is about building a durable publishing home for ambitious independent creators.”

Headup founder Dieter Schoeller added, “This wasn’t about chasing scale – it was about finding the right people. Reforged is built by people who genuinely understand games, and that alignment allows us to grow without losing what makes Headup special.”
