Focus Entertainment Publishing, a subsidiary of Pullup Entertainment, announced on Monday a publishing partnership with Australian studio Uppercut Games for the title Magicians: The Devil's Deal, scheduled for release in 2027.

A Narrative FPS Combining Exploration and Combat
Magicians: The Devil's Deal is a first-person shooter where the player embodies Jacob, a magician betrayed by his peers. The project combines exploration, the creation of immersive worlds, and high-stakes confrontations. Announced on June 7 during the Xbox Showcase, the game positioned itself as one of the event's key announcements.
Co-Owned Intellectual Property and Strategic Partnership
Magicians: The Devil's Deal is an original creation co-owned by Focus Entertainment Publishing and Uppercut Games. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the partnership between the two companies, following Pullup Entertainment's minority stake acquisition in the Australian studio, founded in 2011 by industry veterans who previously worked at Irrational Games, the studio behind the BioShock series.
Multiplatform Release in 2027
The game will be released in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Developed by a team of industry veterans, the title aligns with Focus Entertainment's publishing strategy, which is based on creating original gameplay experiences.
