for everyone. That could be via products that primarily target enthusiasts, like Train Sim Classic, or something far broader that retains some simulation fundamentals, but expresses them in highly accessible ways, incorporating more traditional gameplay loops, to be enjoyed in group as well as solo play. A small example of this is Train Sim World: Tycoon, our Roblox game coming later this year. Unfortunately, I can’t go into more detail right now, but expect to hear a lot more about this and other IPs over the next 12 months or so. I am more excited about the future trajectory of Dovetail than ever.
It’s been a few months since Focus acquired Dovetail. How has that been and what has changed strategically and operationally? The acquisition was in April 2023 and since then we have got to know our new partners very well. I am delighted to say that Focus Entertainment (renamed as PulluP Entertainment in April 2024) have been extremely supportive of me and my team. They’ve not tried to change who we are, but have been there to add their expertise and advice across a matter of topics. They support our ambitious plans to grow the business and to create exceptional simulations for every type of player. I feel confident that we found the right home and that our path within the wider organisation will be a successful one.
What is on the horizon for Dovetail? Our company vision is to create exceptional simulations
