Words from the CEO 

“We’re very happy to welcome Tencent as our largest shareholder, a sign of trust and recognition that we are humbled by and excited about. We thank KGJ for all their support over the years and we are glad to see their ownership be transferred to such a knowledgeable investor as Tencent.

The third quarter of 2019 was a low-key period in terms of releases for the company, with several small activities happening on several games. We released a game for the first time on Nintendo Switch – Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden – in addition we released a DLC for the game and had it on the Epic Games Store as a free game of the week. We also continued delivering on the DLCs for Conan Exiles, with “Blood and Sand” during the quarter and “Debaucheries of Derketo” in October. Moons of Madness had its Steam release in time for Halloween and has been positively received by players and press. The console release for the game is scheduled for January for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

We continue the investments into our games pipeline and particularly into our internally developed games Conan Exiles, the DUNE open world survival game and the Mutant Chronicles online shooter.

We’re excited about everything we have in the pipeline and strengthened by the support shown by Tencent. We’re steadily growing our teams, knowledge and expertise which helps us pave the way for future successes.”

 Rui Casais,

Chief Executive Officer
