Funcom småprat 2019

[h3nk1]

Ellers slo det meg at det fort kommer PAS-dekning ifbm. Funcom sin deltakelse på Pareto sitt gaming seminar neste tirsdag… Slik det skjedde når Funcom deltok på Redeye sitt tilsvarende for noen uker siden. Vi vet jo at ledelsen har jobbet mer aktivt på dette området. Du får ha med Dompa på kjøling i tilfelle, @Evilfreud.

Words from the CEO
“2018 is our best year to date. A year marked by the full release of Conan
Exiles, by the acquisition of 50% of the IP rights for Conan and other
properties for games, by the investment from Swedbank Robur to fuel our
publishing strategy and by the launch of our first published game under this
strategy – Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.

It has been a hectic year, with more activities and projects than ever before.
We are happy to see the support of partners, investors and shareholders for our
strategy of becoming a key player in niches and game genres that are too small
for the big publisher but too difficult to reach for small independent studios.
We truly believe we are well positioned to achieve this, and our multiple
ongoing projects on several fronts are a natural risk mitigation mechanism that
still keeps the very strong upside these various niches represent.

This is only the beginning of our journey, and we believe 2019 will be a year
where exciting projects and opportunities will present themselves, the fruits of
which we will see in 2020 and beyond.

We can see a glimpse of that future already, with five new confirmed games in
the pipeline and a few new games being considered. Several small internal
activities are planned to boost revenue on existing games through DLCs,
additional platforms/stores and partnerships. We also see it in our second
acquisition in one year, the Lisbon-based studio ZPX. A great way to secure
production capacity while keeping costs under control.

We are happy to see that 4Q18 and the full year of 2018 ended with the
successful release of Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. A great game that was well
received, contributed significantly to the 4Q18 financials and, most
importantly, to our reputation as a publisher that works hard to give a game its
best chance at succeeding.

Finally, we are very excited to announce an exclusive gaming partnership with
Legendary Entertainment to develop a line of video games based on the works of
Frank Herbert’s DUNE. DUNE is one of the world’s best-known science fiction
universes and a personal favourite of mine. To work on DUNE games is a dream
come true for many of us in Funcom. We will talk more about what we will do in
this fantastic universe in the future.

Funcom is stronger than ever. With an incredibly exciting pipeline of games, and
by continuing to successfully execute on our strategy, it is my conviction that
we will lift the company to new heights.”

Rui Casais, Chief Executive Officer

Multiplayer” genre that will enter into pre-production in Funcom’s Oslo studio

Om fondet fortsette rå plukke så blir det i verstefall meget midlertidig, jeg som har realisert giring og greier,ajajaj, som @nocturne så fint sa det, det gjør det helt til det ikke gjør det lengre (ifht hype kursoppgang før lansering av myz). Det dumpes helt til det ikke gjør det lengre, blir det denne gangen?
