Pre-Release Sales Forecast & Investment Analysis: Everdream Village
The current momentum (Rank 428) is good but not great. The game lacks the "explosive" wishlist velocity seen in breakout hits (usually Top 100 rank). Expect a stable launch that validates the company's baseline but does not trigger a massive repricing event.
Pre-Release Sales Forecast & Investment Analysis: Death Howl
Death Howl shows healthy wishlist volume but suffers from a "stale" audience cohort gathered early in 2025. We expect a solid but contained launch with ~25k unit sales in the first month. For investors in $11B, this release carries low risk but offers limited upside.
Pre-Release Sales Forecast & Investment Analysis: Frostpunk 2 - Fractured Utopias (Expansion)
This release is unlikely to act as a catalyst for stock recovery. Revenue impact will be primarily accounting-based (deferred revenue recognition) rather than new cash flow.
Pre-Release Forecast: Tormentor ($MMS) – Investment Analysis & Sales Projections
A deep-dive analytical report for Tormentor (Madmind Studio). Our analysis of Steam follower velocity, wishlist health, and prologue performance indicates a "High Risk" launch. We forecast Year 1 Net Revenue between $190k (Pessimistic) and $545k (Neutral).
Pre-Release Sales Forecast & Investment Analysis: Moonlighter 2 – The Endless Vault
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault enters Early Access with meaningful pre-release traction: over 20,000 followers, a top-100 wishlist rank, favourable press coverage and a publisher–developer pair with a proven track record.
