Monument Valley has brought $14.3 million to the creators in 2 years, an MMO for the Assassin’s Creed franchise will be released in China, and Slither.io scored 4 million downloads in a month, but the revenue of the game is only $ 72 thousand.
1. Monument Valley game celebrates 2 years since its release. In honor of the date, the authors of the project, the ustwo studio, shared the numbers. For the entire time of its existence, the game has earned $ 14.3 million, and the project has been downloaded 26 million times. Most of the downloads (73%) were on iOS. The authors of the game emphasize that this number does not include illegal downloads. And we recall that there are a lot of them during this time. In January last year, ustwo reported that 60% of downloads of the game are pirated.
2. Ubisoft and the Chinese company OurPalm in cooperation will launch an MMO about the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The game will be released in China. The development will be handled by Ubisoft studio in Montreal. And despite this, the game is not yet planned to be released outside of China. Note that the franchise project is not the first project that the two companies have released together. In November 2014, OurPalm published the Ubisoft-owned Hungry Shark Evolution game in China.
3. New Agar.io – game Slither.io from developer Steve Howse – downloaded 4 million times in a month. The title is on the 1st place in downloads in the USA, but the profit leaves much to be desired. According to grossing, the game barely entered the first four hundred. Since its release in March, the game has earned only $ 72 thousand. The reason, most likely, is that the game does not provide for monetization. And the creators of the project added advertising (and the ability to disable it for $ 4) only in early April. It is noteworthy that the clone of the Apptopia game with downloads of only 400 thousand earned $ 80 thousand in a month.
