Hello Neighbor 2 pre-order and portfolio strategy update
tinyBuild, Inc. (AIM: TBLD), a leading video games publisher and
developer with global operations, is pleased to announce that Hello
Neighbor 2, the next game in its best selling franchise, will be
available for pre-order on 7 April 2022.
Based on the proven model developed for the first Hello Neighbor
title, the launch strategy for Hello Neighbor 2 is designed to
maximise the visibility of the game and to realise its full
potential in terms of consumer following, and subsequently, sales
on the actual launch date. Players who pre-order the game will get
access to a beta version on PC and Xbox. The original Hello
Neighbor had a similar strategy, allowing players who pre-order to
participate in an in-development build and supply feedback. With
Hello Neighbor 2, however, the beta version will be for the first
time available on Xbox
Since its launch in 2017, the Hello Neighbor franchise, which
includes Hello Neighbor, Secret Neighbor, and Hello Engineer, has
grown in popularity, giving the Company high levels of confidence
ahead of the launch of Hello Neighbor 2.
The Company's strategy is to create long-lasting IP that results
in multi-game and multimedia franchises. As well as new games
across multiple platforms, tinyBuild looks to expand game-based IP
into graphic novels, books, TV, film, merchandise and more. Hello
Neighbor is a successful example of this approach. Over the last
four years, the franchise has reported:
-- Over 80 million downloads of all Hello Neighbor titles, up from 60 million in March 2021
-- 8 million Hello Neighbor 2 alpha downloads (up from 4 million in March 2021)
-- Over 3 million downloads of Secret Neighbor on iOS alone since June 2021
As well as announcing the next instalment in the Hello Neighbor
franchise, the Company is pleased to report that its recent game
launches are progressing as expected. These games have added to
tinyBuild's well-diversified portfolio of titles. Highlights
includes:
-- Potion Craft has passed 400,000 downloads after topping the
Steam top sellers charts at launch in September 2021 (100,000
downloads in the first three days)
-- Despot's Game and Undungeon both had strong launches with
"Very Positive" users reviews on Steam
-- Happy's Humble Burger Farm also had a positive reception
among key influencers and reviewers ("a genius game", according to
Destructoid )
-- Trash Sailors will be released on 16 December 2021, and the
critically-acclaimed Not For Broadcast will move to version 1.0 in
Q1 2022
Strong relationships with partner platforms have further
enhanced the Company's revenue diversification strategy. A number
of tinyBuild titles available as part of subscription services have
been renewed this year, increasing the Company' revenue visibility,
and allowing tinyBuild to accelerate its investment in recently
acquired IP, such as Deadside (acquihired in September 2021).
Finally, to show appreciation to our staff members' continued
hard work, the Board has recently announced that all staff members
have been granted an extra week of holiday at the end of
December.
Alex Nichiporchik, Chief Executive Officer of tinyBuild,
commented:
"We are excited about the release of the much-anticipated Hello
Neighbor 2, adding to a successful franchise across multiple games
and platforms as well as books and graphic novels, with a TV pilot
in the works. Alongside new titles such as Potion Craft, Despot's
Game and Happy's Humble Burger Farm, it further contributes to the
diversification of our portfolio, while our close relationship with
partner platforms increases the resilience of our business
overall.
"Our goal is to expand our position as a leading global
developer and publisher, focusing on IP ownership while creating a
diversified portfolio of long-term scalable franchises. The
accretive M&A deals recently announced are supporting our
ambitious growth strategy and we are actively looking at a number
of potential acquihires and larger scale acquisitions to enhance
our strategic and operational position. We are confident about
delivering on our strategy for this year and beyond."
