Frontier Developments Shifts Strategy Following Poor Sales of Warhammer RTS Realms of Ruin

The company plans to refocus on successful 'creative management simulation' games, amid expectations of a $9 million loss for 2023-2024.

Frontier Developments, the publisher behind games like Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous, has announced a shift in strategy following the disappointing sales of their recent Warhammer RTS Realms of Ruin.
The company has admitted that their efforts to diversify into other genres and third-party publishing over the last five years have not been as successful as planned.
Frontier will now refocus on their successful 'creative management simulation' games, with plans to release a new management game in each of the next three fiscal years.
The company's financials have taken a hit due to the underperformance of Realms of Ruin, with expectations to record a loss of $9 million during 2023-2024.
Despite the disappointing performance of Realms of Ruin, Frontier still plans to support the game with post-release content and paid DLC.
