Press Room
Press Kits
The Press page aggregates Schell Games’ official corporate footprint, managing media relations through public Press Releases, comprehensive Media Coverage archives, and tailored Game-Specific Press Kits. It functions as an official record of the studio’s financial and critical achievements—such as major revenue milestones for the I Expect You To Die franchise and critical accolades from the NYX, Webby, and Telly Awards. The page emphasizes the studio's broader industry impact, highlighting its initiatives in community education apprenticeships, diversity-focused university fellowships, and active participation in global industry health campaigns.

- What kind of community and structural industry programs are announced on the Press page?
- The press room chronicles several social and educational workforce initiatives developed by the studio. Notable announcements include a strategic partnership with the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) to establish accessible game industry apprenticeships, and their leading role in founding a Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Fellowship Fund designed specifically to support underrepresented groups entering the gaming industry.
- Does the page document Schell Games' work in health research and public safety?
- Yes. The media log features corporate integrations with health initiatives, such as partnering with play2PREVENT to design games aimed at tackling opioid addiction and prevention. It also logs their clinical design footprint, including features in the JAMA Network regarding the implementation of their trauma triage games at nontrauma medical centers.
- How does the press room reflect the studio's "life without layoffs" philosophy?
- The press room cross-references major mainstream media profiles (including high-profile interviews with GamesIndustry.biz) focusing on the studio's unique corporate stability. It highlights executive strategies used by CEO Jesse Schell to maintain a completely sustainable business framework that has successfully avoided staff layoffs for over two decades—a massive point of distinction within the turbulent games market.
- Where can journalists find specific visual media or promotional videos for a new release?
- Every press release is tied directly to a specialized, downloadable zip file or directory link. Rather than scraping low-quality images from the web, journalists use the platform-specific press kits to grab developer-approved B-roll video sequences, raw game trailers, high-resolution screenshots, and executive headshots to accompany their print or digital articles.
