SquareEnix getting acquired? Resident Evil 8 free demo, CDPR still profits after cyberpunk 2077【Daily Game News】

Welcome every player back to our daily game news! Just today, according to a Bloomberg Japan report, two bank insiders revealed that multiple potential buyers have expressed their interest in Square Enix, but it is not clear whether they are interested in Square Enix’s gaming business or the entire company.

However, please also note that gaming companies often discuss mergers and acquisitions. This does not mean that anything is happening. Especially because this article does not say that Square Enix is actively looking for buyers, only that some companies are “interested.”

At the same time, after the release of the CTFN report, Square Enix’s share price rose accordingly as well.

CDPR officials shared some of the financial report data on Twitter recently. The current result of the 2020 CDPR revenue is Malaysia 2.31 billion ringgit. CD PROJEKT claimed in an official statement that the data is not completely accurate without review, and the final results will be announced in a report on April 22.

CDPR’s 2020 revenue is 2.14 billion zlotys (approximately Malaysia 2.37 billion ringgit), and its consolidated net profit is 1.15 billion zlotys (approximately Malaysia 1.23 billion ringgit). It is four times the revenue in 2019, and it is also nearly three times the revenue record of 798 million zlotys when “The Witcher 3” was released.

Secondly, most of CDPR’s revenue and profits in 2020 will be generated in the last quarter. This is also inseparable from the benefits created by the release of “Cyberpunk 2077”. Although “Cyberpunk 2077” has been controversial after its release, Its global sales still exceed tens of millions of copies. Also, Daniel Ahmad, senior data analyst at Niko Partners, showed CD PROJEKT’s revenue in recent years on Twitter.

Besides, foreign media segmentnext said: “The Witcher 3” has been a great success (from the game itself to subsequent strong sales)-it has not only landed on the Nintendo Switch platform in recent years, but also launched a TV series, all of which are “The Witcher 3” The follow-up sales and publicity of the company helped a lot.
