The initial sales of the action RPG Atlas Fallen were below forecasts, according to Focus Entertainment. Focusing on the “good quality” of the game, the company expected better results.
It is not specified how many copies of Atlas Fallen were implemented.
According to the publisher, heavy competition in the gaming market is partly to blame for weak sales. Now Focus Entertainment and Deck13 Interactive studio, which developed Atlas Fallen, are improving the game.
In its statement, Focus Entertainment also noted that the company’s stock price volatility has increased in recent weeks. According to Google Finance, on August 10 — the day Atlas Fallen was released — the publisher’s shares fell by 12% to €33 apiece. On August 15, the shares partially recovered the fall, rising by 9.6% to €36, but soon fell again to €33. At the time of writing the news, they are trading at a newly increased price of €36.1.
