Media and Games Invest SE: announcing game portfolio addition ‘Fractured Online’, a new promising open-world Sandbox Fantasy MMORPG

Fractured Online is gamigo's first truly dynamic, isometric open-world MMORPG. The sandbox game focuses heavily on giving players the freedom to be who they want - through its unique character progression system - and shape the world the way they want. This can be done figuratively via the game's player-driven economy or literally by building cities across three worlds within multiple continents. In a world where demons naturally prey on all beings, Fractured Online is a game that can either bring players together, or tear them apart.

"We wanted to offer something that was more powerful and flexible than the conventional RPG level and skills progression system," says Jacopo Gallelli, Co-Founder and CEO at Dynamight Studios. "In Fractured Online, we're putting credence to the idiom 'knowledge is power' by introducing the Knowledge System. Our system rewards players that are courageous and clever, not for the hours they've spent hunting rats in a basement for some random farmers."

MGI already announced the licensing deal behind Fractured Online at its Capital Markets Day in August 2021 without revealing the name of the game and the name of the studio behind the game. This approach has been chosen to be able to run a well-orchestrated marketing campaign starting with a teaser campaign, in which details about the game were announced bit by bit over the past weeks, until the official announcement which included revealing the name of the game, last week. Based on this approach gamigo has been able to attract a substantial interest of the community which is important for a successful launch of the game.

The launch of Fractured is planned for H2 2022. Gamigo has formed a substantial dedicated team of experts to prepare the launch of the game. At and after launch, it is also planned to leverage gamigo's extensive experience in community management and the operation of MMO games as well as Verve Groups strong expertise in user acquisition.

Jens Knauber, CEO gamigo and COO MGI: "We have been following Dynamight Studios and their great work on Fractured for quite some time and are looking forward to the upcoming cooperation. We are delighted and are having high expectations with regards to Fractured; the game is unique and very special and a great addition to our portfolio. As planned, we are, next to increasing the number of updates in our current portfolio, also steadily increasing the number of games launches. In total, gamigo has licensed 4 new game titles in 2021. In 2022, we expect to further increase the number of new licenses and launches."
