Misfits Gamming is no stranger to Minecraft creators like Tubbo as the company already has three streamers under their network who play the title, including Cassie “Snifferish” Anne, “aimsey” and Callum “Seapeekay” Knight. The company also hosts its own Minecraft server, Misfits Craft, where fans can play and connect with the streamers.
The company also signed another Minecraft creator in “Ranboo,” who has yet to announce it on his own social media. Ranboo is aiming to continue to appeal to younger audiences according to a statement by Misfits Gaming CEO, Ben Spoont, published by The Hollywood Reporter.
“Misfits remains committed to competition, but we’re also an inclusive community for all gamers,” said Spoont to The Hollywood Reporter. “With Ranboo and Tubbo joining our already amazing roster of Minecraft creators, fans can expect fun community events, accessible content and a total elevation of our programming. We will define modern gaming content and can’t wait to see how our collective audiences respond.”
The content team around Misfits has been teasing this signing for days across their social media channels.
According to their website, Misfits now have 25 content creators and streamers on their roster across multiple titles and genres.
