The game Forge of Empires earned more than € 100 million
The Forge of Empires project from the German studio InnoGames has brought its creators more than €100 million in three years since its launch.
The development of the title at the same time cost € 1 million, according to the resource Develop Online with reference to the words of InnoGames executives. This is the cost of the game before the release – how much was spent on support after the release, it is not said.
“After the launch of the game, we invest a lot in further development. However, the volume of these investments depends on the performance of the project in the early stages. They allow us to quickly understand how successful the game will be. Thus, the risk is only an investment in the initial development, then we are confident that the spending will bring a corresponding profit,” said Armin Busen, Product director at InnoGames.
It is expected that another project of the company, Grepolis, will also reach the €100 million mark by the autumn. Another strategy from InnoGames called Tribal Wars has earned €80 million since its international release in 2006.
Recall that Forge of Empires is a browser strategy. In 2014, a version of the tile for mobile devices appeared. As a result, the revenue of the company-the author of the game increased by 500% compared to the previous year.
Now the project has about 25 million registered users.
