Koch Media, the leading global publishing partner, and the Spanish independent games developer Weird Beluga Studio, are delighted to announce their partnership for Clid the Snail, a grim, narrative-led top-down shooter with a unique approach to the genre. With the support of the PlayStation Talents program, the business accelerator Lanzadera, and Koch Media as publishing partner, Clid the Snail will slide onto PlayStation®4 in 2021, with the PC version due to arrive this same year on a later date.

Clid the Snail is a dark fable about a grumpy humanoid snail armed to the radula. Focused on the narrative, and with a methodical, mindful approach to combat, players will take control of the exiled snail and join forces with a peculiar gang of outcasts to get rid of the slug plague that is ravaging their world. Clid the Snail encourages creative gun play with its vast array of weapons and mechanics, alongside exploration and puzzle solving with its delightfully grim environment.

Alejandro García, one of the five co-founders of Weird Beluga Studio, shares his team’s excitement about this partnership: “We are very happy about our partnership with Koch Media. For a young and small team like ours, it is like a dream come true. It is also a big push for the team now that we are on the final stage of the development. It encourages us all to give our best to finish the game!”

Stephan Schmidt, Director of Global Partner Publishing at Koch Media, adds: “We are excited to welcome the team from Weird Beluga and that Clid the Snail will join our 2021 releases as exclusive PlayStation 4 title. This title is made with love and attention to detail from the developers and it fits perfectly to our diversified games line-up!”
