Former Awesomenauts Developers Form New Studio Rangatang

Share:

A group of developers who previously worked on Awesomenauts has come together to form a new game studio called Rangatang, based in the Netherlands. These developers, once colleagues at Romino Games, decided to regroup after Romino filed for bankruptcy in 2023. Romino’s well-known games Awesomenauts and Swords & Soldiers were sold to Atari, leaving the team in search of a new path.

Before Romino closed, the team had been working on a project that never saw the light of day. Now, the founding members of Rangatang have acquired the rights to that project and revealed it as a new game called Nubs!, described as a “chaotic multiplayer arena brawler.” Rangatang is developing Nubs! in collaboration with Glowfish Interactive, and the game is expected to launch on PC in 2025.

Oliver Thijssenn, co-founder of Rangatang, expressed excitement about the future of their new studio: “After a difficult time following the closure of Ronimo Games, we’re excited about our future with our own studio, Rangatang.” He added that their collaboration with Glowfish Interactive is allowing them to bring everything they’ve learned from their past experiences into the development of Nubs!.

While the core of Nubs! was originally developed at Romino Games, Rangatang has made significant changes to the game. They’ve worked closely with Glowfish Interactive to shape the game into a unique multiplayer experience that they say is full of “indie charm and nostalgia.”
