CI Games has found the money to get Lords of the Fallen II over the finish line, and its CEO is putting quite a lot of skin in the game. The Polish studio has signed a €28.6 million bank financing deal to cover everything between now and launch. As part of the arrangement, President and largest shareholder Marek Tymiński has committed to holding every single share he owns for the full term of the loan.
Tymiński didn’t hold back when sharing the news on social media, either. No new shares, he wrote, and no publisher taking a cut. For a studio that was tied to Epic Games just a few months ago, that’s quite the change of tune.
€28.6 Million, and Not a Single New Share
The deal is a syndicated credit facility arranged by two Polish banks, Erste Bank Polska and Bank Ochrony Środowiska. According to CI Games, it fully covers the cost of finishing production, running a global marketing campaign and launching the game. It will also let the company refinance all of its existing bank debt in one go. That’s a lot of loose ends tied up with a single signature.
The part Tymiński seems proudest of...
