Company profile
researched Aug 2026November Games (November Games Limited) is a New Zealand game development and social platform tools company. Its announced game project is Steamcore, described as an online-multiplayer MMO FPS built in Unity with a new social mechanic aimed at the esports and social gaming space, which the company said it would launch at TwitchCon 2022.
Alongside the game, the company operates Echelon, a Twitch-oriented growth network for streamers and developers.
