“Frontier’s move to diversify its game portfolio during the last five years, including through third-party publishing and new games in ‘adjacent genres’, has not delivered the anticipated success,” said the company in its business update. “As a result, the Company has refocused on CMS games which have delivered stronger and more predictable returns through Frontier’s expertise and leadership in that genre.”

For context, management-styled games like Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Jurassic World Evolution, and Jurassic World Evolution 2 are what Frontier Developments considers falling under the CMS umbrella. According to the company’s development update, all four of these games were able to make a profit within a month of release, and over the next year, were able to make a 100 percent return on investment.

“All four games achieved profitability within one month of release and delivered over 100% return on investment within 12 months of release,” it said. “The three games which have been in the market for four years or longer – Planet Coaster, Jurassic World Evolution, and Planet Zoo – have all achieved a cumulative return on investment of over 250%.”

As part of its new focus on management-styled games, Frontier Developments has revealed that it plans on releasing three more games down the line over the next three financial years—one game for each financial year. Despite the performance of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, the company plans on further support the title, as well as other games like Elite: Dangerous and the F1 Manager franchise.

The low sales of Realms of Ruin have reduced the company’s expected revenue for the current financial year. However, the company has stated that it is looking to the next financial year in order to break even in revenue thanks to continued support of its preexisting games, as well as the release of the planned CMS title.

“The Board expects Frontier to at least break even in FY25 through the ongoing performance of the existing portfolio of games, revenue contributions from future releases including the CMS game scheduled for FY25, and the 20% operating cost reductions from the Organisational Review,” it said about its plans with future management games.

Nevertheless, the developer will continue supporting the game with post-release content, which includes paid DLC, and expects sales to “build over time” as a result. According to SteamDb, the real-time strategy title peaked at 1,572 concurrent players. It also has 738 user reviews, with 66 percent positive for a “Mixed” rating.

Check out our review for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin here, where we awarded it a 6 out of 10. Despite enjoying the unique factions, fun campaign and gameplay that’s easy for newcomers to pick up, we found issues with the gameplay’s depth and lack of advanced strategies. Stay tuned for more details and updates on the title in the meantime.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is priced at $59.99 on all platforms, with a Deluxe Edition being available at $69.99 and an Ultimate Edition priced at $74.99. The Ultimate Edition release of the game includes an additional Hero skin per faction, two profile customisation sets, and access to planned DLC releases.

The game is set in the realm of Ghur—one of the eight mortal realms that makes up the Warhammer Age of Sigmar setting. Its campaign revolves around a detachment of Stormcast Eternals looking for a powerful artefact. Along the way, the Stormcast Eternals will have to take on the Orruk Kruleboyz faction, along with other enemies, including the Disciples of Tzeentch, and the Nighthaunt.

The trailer focuses on four major aspects of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin—the cinematic campaign, its comprehensive multiplayer options, the Eternal Conquest game mode, and the ability to express player creativity through various in-game tools and options.

The game’s main cinematic campaign revolves around its various factions and will feature a character driven story. The campaign is written by Black Library writer Gav Thorpe, who is known for publishing quite a few books across the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 settings.

On the multiplayer side of things, players will be able to partake in 1v1 and 2v2 matches with any mix of human and AI opponents. The game will also feature cross-platform multiplayer, as well as a competitive ladder for the 1v1 game mode.

Eternal conquest will allow players to take on what is essentially a procedurally generated campaign. Players will have to take on different enemies as they work their way towards the final enemy. Seeds for the procedural campaign can also be shared between players.

And finally, when it comes to player expression through the in-game creative tools, players will be able to create and share their own maps. True to being a Warhammer title, players will also be able to paint their own armies, as well as create full dioramas to show off their work.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on November 17.

The open beta for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin features two factions: Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz. Players not interested in trying out the multiplayer can also play 1v1 matches against an AI bot.

A core feature of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is its unique controller-based control scheme, dubbed DirectStep. Players can give the control scheme a shot during the beta on all platforms. It essentially allows players to issue rapid-fire orders, cycle between their squads, and offer flexibility in a battlefield.

The open beta isn’t planned to go on for too long, and will be available until June 10. The game is slated to get a second open beta later this summer.

The trailer doesn’t give us any real indication of what the gameplay will look like, featuring only pre-rendered footage. Warhammer The trailer has, however, revealed that the game will be coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and is slated to get a gameplay reveal some time in June.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin will be set in the Realm of Beasts, dubbed Ghur. Its single-player campaign will revolve around the forces of Order sending celestial, reforged champions called the Stormcast Eternals to reclaim the realm. One of the primary antagonists of the campaign will be an Orruk faction called the Kruleboyz.

The game is being developed for PC and consoles simultaneously, and will feature a unique control scheme for players using a controller. Players will be able to cycle through their squads and issue orders by using the analogue sticks and a few button presses. PC players, on the other hand, will be able to make use of the classic mouse and keyboard control scheme they would expect from an RTS.

The title will feature four playable factions that will be distinct from each other both visually as well as mechanically. The game will also pull from the vast array of Warhammer Age of Sigmar creature designs to feature variety in its units, from gigantic monsters to fast-moving flyers to mystical wizards.
