505 Games Acquires the Ghostrunner IP for €5 million - News

505 Games announced it has acquired the cyberpunk ninja action IP, Ghostrunner, for €5 million. 

The company worked with publisher All In Games on the release of the game in October 2020. 505 Games now has taken full control of the IP and "all licenses for the technological solutions used in the game."

"Ghostrunner quickly turned out to be huge success, which convinced [505 Games] to submit an offer -- one of those 'hard to refuse' [offers]," said All In CEO Piotr Żygadło.

Ghostrunner had recouped its €2.5 million production budget on its launch day and ended up selling over 500,000 units by the end of 2020. The game is expected to top one million units sold by the end of 2021. 

Thanks, GamesIndustry.

Is it me or does €5 million for an IP based off €2.5 million costs being recouped just on launch day alone and selling over 500K by the end of 2020 with expected figures of 1 million that should see it make a lot more than €5 million just in profit. seem like a bargain.

For some reason I thought this was owned by Zenimax. Maybe I was thinking of Deathloop. Either way I have this on my wish list looks great.

You were thinking of Ghostwire Tokyo, and I believe that would be MS now.
