On May 1, 2026, Hachette Book Group announced a partnership to exclusively handle worldwide retail for Rippaverse Publishing and Rippasend, beginning July 6, 2026.

Previously, on April 30, 2026, Hachette published Antony Beevor's "Rasputin and the Downfall of the Romanovs," a 699-page book offering a nuanced account of Rasputin’s role in the Romanov dynasty's decline. Also on April 30, Grand Central Publishing, an imprint, revealed plans to release a reprint of Octavia Butler's "Survivor," a move the author opposed during her lifetime, driven by a recent resurgence of interest in Butler's writing.
