Newcastle, UK – 22 February 2024: Publisher Secret Mode and developer Sumo Newcastle are pleased to announce a multi-title publishing partnership spanning different genres and IPs. The first title from this partnership is DEATHSPRINT 66, an on-foot racing gameshow set in a dystopian future where contestants compete to entertain a global audience of bloodthirsty viewers.

DEATHSPRINT 66 can be seen on the cover of EDGE #395, out today. The issue contains world exclusive access, screenshots, and impressions of DEATHSPRINT 66 in action ahead of its premiere in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase on 21 March.

"Sumo Newcastle’s approach is to have small teams pushing into new areas with big ideas,” says studio director Owen O’Brien. “We aim to deliver unique, focused experiences via self-contained, high-quality games, and our new partnership with Secret Mode enables us to fully embrace this philosophy.”

“Sumo Newcastle is home to a wealth of exceptional talent,” adds Ed Blincoe, Secret Mode’s VP of Publishing. “Our excitement levels for this partnership are through the roof and we look forward to showing off more very soon.”

The next project from the Secret Mode and Sumo Newcastle partnership will be revealed later in 2024.
