While game companies are putting increasing focus on in-game purchases to allow their games to become a source of long-term revenues, the sector remains heavily reliant on ‘hit’ games.
Planet Zoo – the group’s zoo simulation game – is the group’s fourth self-published title. House broker Liberum is forecasting it will deliver revenues of £25m in the year to May 2020.
Alongside the successful launch, the group has also announced a second partnership in its Frontier Publishing initiative, through which it is working with external companies to develop and publish games.
