Tymiński announced that the budget of the second part of “LoTF” will be significantly greater than in the case of the first installment, which cost $ 9.8 million (PLN 42 million -including marketing).
The game is to be released simultaneously on PC and new generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
The company is working on new games: a new production from the “Sniper” series and a title set in the “survival” genre. The Czech studio BatFields, with which CI concluded an agreement in October 2021, is working on the second title. President Tymiński announced that both titles will hit the market in the coming years, and the question remains whether they can appear already in 2023.
“We don’t want to give any dates right now, our focus is on Lords of the Fallen,” he said.
“The games are currently in production,” he added.
The company still wants its games to be primarily single-player (singleplayer), but also intends to add multiplayer elements to them. The company also plans to release add-ons to the current games.
“Looking to the future, we take the strategy of issuing supplements for our key projects very seriously,” said Tyminski.
CI Games is constantly increasing the size of the team, but in 2022 it does not plan such a significant increase in employment as in 2021 – it wants to focus on the consolidation of currently implemented projects. At the end of last year, the company employed 157 people, whose average experience in the video game industry is 14 years. 67 people were located in Poland and 90 abroad.
CI Games is open to the acquisition of smaller studios, although this is not the company’s basic strategy.
“This is something that we can add to our business in the future,” said the president.
The company is still in the process of reviewing its strategic options. The management board is considering the possibility of listing the shares on the London Stock Exchange.
“We are working on it, we will share new information when we agree on something. I think it will be this year,” said Vice President David Broderick.
