The French company is also helping indie developers to get more audiences for their games, Carto is one of the games showcased on the Indie Corner of Ubisoft Connect. The game tells the story of Carto after being separated from her Granny during a storm. She must her world-altering powers on her journey back to her family.
Other publishers have begun using a similar brand for their first-party games, Electronic Arts and its EA Originals is one of those. Bigger companies like Xbox and PlayStation use the Xbox Game Studios and PlayStation Studios to refer to its first-party developers and IPs.
