This announcement serves as a formal update to the company’s long-term production pipeline, following initial disclosures regarding the project made in late 2021.

PCF Group Current Report No. 51/2023: Suspension of Production Agreement Negotiations
The management board of PCF Group S.A., operating under the People Can Fly brand, has formally announced the indefinite suspension of negotiations regarding a production agreement for a new video game project. This decision concerns a development contract for an action-combat title intended for virtual reality platforms, currently identified by the code name Project Dolphin. The suspension follows a non-binding letter of intent signed in June 2023 with a prominent United States-based entertainment entity that was intended to serve as the project’s publisher. The cessation of development activities and contract negotiations is attributed to external labor instability within the American entertainment sector. Informal communications between the developer and the publisher indicate that the decision is a direct consequence of ongoing industry strikes in the United States, which have created a climate of significant uncertainty across the broader entertainment landscape. This disruption has forced a halt to the collaborative efforts previously established for the VR title, reflecting the immediate impact of labor disputes on international production pipelines. This development represents a shift in the company’s immediate project roadmap for the 2023 period. While the initial agreement established the framework for a strategic partnership in the high-growth VR segment, the indefinite suspension highlights the vulnerability of specialized game development projects to macroeconomic and industrial labor trends. The announcement serves as a regulatory notification regarding the status of material negotiations and the current operational standing of Project Dolphin within the company’s portfolio of upcoming titles.

The scope of this announcement covers the global release plans for the title across all intended platforms.
