Focus Entertainment, the publisher of popular games such as A Plague Tale: Requiem and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, has announced major changes in its structure. One of the main effects of the restructuring will be a name change to PulluP Entertainment, which will take effect on April 1, 2024.
As part of the reorganization, a new deputy director general, Geoffrey Sardin, has also been appointed. Sardin has worked at Ubisoft for the past 25 years and will assume his new position on February 2.
During the recent board meeting discussing the transformations in the company, the decision was made to focus on the development of three divisions and consolidate them under the aforementioned new name. The main publishing division will be called Focus Entertainment Publishing. Dotemu and The Arcade Crew will be responsible for retro game publishing, while the seven studios owned by the company (Deck13, Streumon, Twelve Tenths, Leikir Studio, Blackmill, Dovetail, and Carpool Studio) will focus on creating new titles.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Focus Entertainment has changed its name and undergone a restructuring process. Previously, in 2021, the company transformed from Focus Home Interactive to the current Focus Entertainment.
The group’s revenue was also included in the financial report for the fiscal year 2023/24. It was found that the revenue was lower than the previous year. In the third quarter (ending on December 31, 2023), revenue amounted to 43.3 million euros, a decrease of 43% compared to the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, in the first nine months (from April 1 to December 31, 2023), the company earned revenue of 128.3 million euros, which is 9% less than the same period last year.
These results are not surprising, considering the list of games released by Focus in the previous fiscal year, such as A Plague Tale: Requiem and Evil West. This year, players could enjoy titles such as Aliens: Dark Descent, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and Atlas Fallen, which also sought to captivate the gaming community’s attention.
