Report highlights: Securing a brighter future

“The first half of 2019 was about streamlining and re-setting our course towards a brighter future. We executed a series of actions, including cutting our costs, streamlining our organization, re-structuring the management and the project steering process. In order to secure us a brighter future, we also re-worked our game Heroes of Warland, secured funding from Business Finland and signed a new project with Avalanche Studios. The majority of these actions are materializing in our financials only after the reporting period. I’m confident that as a result of these actions, we are now past the low point in revenues.” says Jussi Tähtinen, CEO of Nitro Games.
