"Exmo-AST" will start selling the IP of the books it publishes to game developers

The number of video games based on books is set to increase. Soon, developers will be able to purchase licenses for game adaptations of books from the publishing group "Eksmo-AST."

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This was announced by the CEO of "Eksmo," Evgeny Kapiyev, in a conversation with the newspaper "Vedomosti." According to him, the group may begin selling licenses as early as the fall. He did not specify the terms under which the deals would be made.

Kapiyev did not rule out the possibility that "Eksmo-AST" might partially finance the game development. Currently, the group is considering this possibility but has not made a final decision. It should be noted that in February 2023, it agreed to invest in book adaptations, covering up to 25% of film production costs.
