Find out more about Square Enix's Collective publishing platform at GDC Next!

Today, Square Enix announced Collective, a new curated game pitching-and-publishing platform developed in partnership with IndieGoGo that enables independent game devs to connect with Square Enix and the broader community for feedback, crowdfunding, even access to older Eidos IP. If you want to know more about Collective, you can hear more about it yourself at a special GDC Next session called "The Story Behind Square Enix Collective".
In this session, Square Enix head of community Phil Elliott will offer more details about the Collective publishing platform, including details on launch plans, submission parameters, platforms, and information on which Square Enix IP will be available for pitches. The session will also include a question-and-answer period, and Square Enix is soliciting further questions and feedback via email at [email protected].
