Incorporating data into management discussions and the greenlighting process as early as possible is crucial for informed, unbiased decision-making. Identifying necessary pre-launch adjustments can significantly impact ROI optimization. Studying successful peers provides valuable insights, while learning from underperformers helps mitigate risks. With just two weeks until launch, the team has done a phenomenal job positioning KCD II for success. By strategically adjusting the release date to avoid direct competition, the game is trending toward becoming another 1M+ seller on Steam, supported by strong early review impressions. Assuming 1.25M copies sold on Steam and a 60% PC/console split, KCD II is well positioned to surpass 2M copies across all platforms by March 31. For comparison, Remnant II, another Embracer title, sold 2M copies within its first two months, with an estimated 60% PC share. Pre-orders typically surge during launch week, making the coming days very interesting to monitor. The review embargo lifts on February 3, one day before the game’s official release on February 4. We’ll be closely tracking the launch and enjoy the game. Will you? Audentes Fortuna Iuvat! ⚔️
