It has its own website and can be also accessed through its official social media accounts including Facebook and YouTube.

"Revelmode will focus on premium content, game development, philanthropic programs, commercial partnerships and merchandise," Maker Studios said in a release, as reported by the LA Times.

"From my perspective, Revelmode is a shift in how talent can approach a digital company and work together for a common good," Kjellberg said.

"I have seen many challenges and successes in growing a brand and authentically communicating with an audience, and wanted to take what I've learned and create something unique," said Kjellberg, explaining Revelmode, as reported by The Guardian.

"From my perspective, Revelmode is a shift in how talent can approach a digital company and work together for a common good. Together we will focus on creating—from one-off videos to original series to gamey games to animatoons, music, clothes, charity drives, and more—really anything that's awesome in the eyes of the fans."

The YouTube star also made a video announcement introducing the new entertainment network. Watch the video announcement below:
