The company expects to have at least two major AAA-releases during the next financial year ending March 31, 2021. In total they have 81 games under development, with 47 still unannounced.
Volition is in development of a new Saints Row game, the first full entry in this series since Saints Row IV was released in 2013. Dambuster Studios are now leading the development of Dead Island 2. Fishlabs is working on a new IP, as well as a number of unannounced projects. 4A Games is working on the next entry in the Metro series.
