The global video games market is set for robust market growth driven by a confluence of trends, including AI, cloud gaming and other tools that can extend the lifetime value of a game and enable greater player immersion. Valuations are normalising after pandemic highs as consumers become more selective amid macro uncertainty, increasing pressure on developers to create hit titles that drive long-term engagement.

CI Games is a European video game developer and publisher known for AAA franchises Sniper Ghost Warrior and Lords of the Fallen. In October 2023, the company launched the latest Lords of the Fallen iteration, its largest title to date, which we expect to drive scalable growth. Despite some initial issues relating to gamers’ legacy hardware, post-launch fixes have driven sales of 1.2m units by end-November. Lords of the Fallen is the first of CI Games’ strategic pillars aimed at increasing new IP and release frequency. In the near term, maintaining Lords of the Fallen’s momentum and generating cash are key. In the longer term, delivering on strategic plans targeting smoother revenue and reduced execution risk could drive a re-rating of the stock.
