Make a game in a Greenlight world — or bring your own.
Greenlight Games works with studios to make games set in the worlds of Greenlight's books and film projects, and in worlds studios bring with them. Here is what we can offer and how pitching works.
Worlds that are already written.
Novels with depth
580 finished novels from Greenlight Publishing, each with its characters, places and history on the page — the groundwork a game world needs.
Film projects
Projects from Greenlight Film list their development materials on each project page. Ask about a project you have in mind.
A home for the game
Each game gets its own page here, linked from the world it is set in, saying what it is, who made it and where players can get it.
From pitch to release.
Pitch
Tell us the game you want to make and the world it is set in: a Greenlight world, your own, or one you license. Send it from this site.
Conversation
If the pitch fits, we get in touch. Source material — manuscripts and whatever supporting files exist — is shared under NDA once the conversation is real.
Agreement
Rights, credits and terms are agreed per title, in writing, before work begins.
Release
The game gets its page here, linked from the world it comes from, with links to the stores where it is actually available.
Before you pitch.
Do I need to use a Greenlight world?
No. Greenlight Games works with games set in Greenlight's worlds and with games set in worlds studios bring with them. Tell us which in your pitch.
Does a world on this site mean its game rights are available?
No. A world listed here is an invitation to pitch. Game adaptation is considered per title, when the world-building can support it, and nothing is licensed until an agreement is signed.
What happens to my pitch?
It goes to the Greenlight Games team. Your dashboard shows its status as it moves, and we write to you if we would like to talk.
Can I pitch more than one game?
Yes. Send each game as its own pitch so each can be considered on its own.
Who owns my pitch?
You do. Sending a pitch does not transfer any rights in your game or your own world. Anything beyond that is agreed in writing, per title.
