Daedalic Signs Coins, Crown & Cabal and Changes Business Model
Daedalic Entertainment and German indie studio Magni Games have signed a publishing deal. At the same time, fundamental changes to the game's concept have been made, based on player feedback.
To kick off their new partnership, Daedalic Entertainment and Magni Games have agreed on a comprehensive realignment of the project Coins, Crown & Cabal (Kreuzer, Krone & Kavale).
The studio and publisher will now focus exclusively on the PC version. Development for mobile platforms will be discontinued. This also comes with a shift in the business model: instead of the previously planned free-to-play model—originally necessary for mobile marketing—Coins, Crown & Cabal will now be released as a premium title.
According to Magni Games and Daedalic, this far-reaching decision was not taken lightly, but is based directly on player feedback. Conceptually, the game will also shift from an MMO to a persistent online multiplayer strategy title.
"We are aware that some of you followed us specifically for Coins, Crown & Cabal being planned as a Free-to-Play title, but after careful reconsideration we believe that the majority of the community, the game itself – as well as its development – benefit far more from this change," says developer Magni Games.
