We are thrilled to announce that RADICAL THEORY will co-publish Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game. This is how the story began:
In 2024, a radical one-man studio ML MEDIA (let by Michel Losch) launched Rooftops & Alleys in early access on Steam. Michel’s passion for gaming, creative talent and a strong community connection proved to be the magical recipe making Rooftops & Alleys so special. It only took a few weeks for the game to sell over 100.000 copies and collect thrice more wishlists, earning an outstanding 96% (!!!) Steam user score.
With this new partnership, Rooftops & Alleys’ ML MEDIA benefits from the support of SHINE GROUP for the console porting while RADICAL THEORY and SHINE GROUP will co-publish the game on consoles and PC. The game will release somewhere this Summer 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch and PC.
BORING BUT RADICAL QUOTES FROM COMPANY BOSSES
Michel Losch, CEO of ML Media
“It’s been a pleasure working with both Radical Theory & Shine so far! They understood my vision for Rooftops & Alleys from the get-go and continue to help me bring my ideas to the finish line. Their great network of talented, passionate people is enabling Rooftops & Alleys to reach even more players worldwide and push beyond what I thought possible for my very-first game!”
Luc Heninger, CEO of Radical Theory
“As a big fan of the classics like Tony Hawk game series, or titles like Session and Shredders, I instantly fell in love with Rooftops & Alleys. We created RAD to collaborate with talented partners, and I feel blessed to be on board with the super-creative-and-kind-person Michel Losch from ML Media as well as the fantastic Shine Group seasoned teams. The game blends parkour, fun, multiplayer chaos and… pigeons. There’s nothing like this in the market and we’re proud to deliver AAA-quality publishing services to amplify its success.”
Sylvain Grosdemouge, CEO of Shine Group
“We’re very happy to fund and bring Rooftops & Alleys to consoles, as the players have been eagerly asking for it since Day 1 of Early Access. I’m very proud of the Shine team who crushed the console port with high-end quality, rendering and framerate – all of this made possible thanks to our TRX porting technology. This adventure was also made even more stellar thanks to the flawless and passionate collaboration with the very talented Michel from ML Media, and the Radical Theory awesome publishing teams.”
Rooftops & Alleys will launch this Summer 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch and PC. Early Access already live on Steam.
