Headup has officially seceded from Thunderful. The publisher from Düren is now its own independent agent again.

With yesterday's 23 May, publisher Headup Games from Düren has successfully cut ties with its former Swedish parent Thunderful. "Happy re-birthday to us! Yesterday, we've officially completed the divestment from Thunderful Group", Channel Specialist Tim Ahler from Headup Games shared on LinkedIn just now.

"And now that we are back to being our own independent company, I am really looking forward to the rest of Headup's 15th anniversary year 2024, and everything beyond! We have some really cool projects in the pipeline, and 2025 looks no different."
