PCF Group S.A. has officially paused plans for a 2025–2026 AAA release of 'Project Dagger' following a creative evaluation and milestone review.
A core team of approximately ten developers will remain on Project Dagger to redefine the game’s direction and develop a new pre-production version.
The majority of the Project Dagger team will be reallocated to other internal projects, specifically Maverick, Bifrost, and Victoria.
The decision to scale back the project follows impact analyses conducted in coordination with the game's publisher, Square Enix Limited.
This strategic shift aligns with PCF Group’s updated corporate strategy from January 2023, which prioritizes more focused resource allocation.
The project remains active in a limited capacity, with the company maintaining the potential for future iteration of the title.
The report announces a temporary reduction in the scope of PCF Group S.A.’s self‑publishing project “Project Dagger.” Following the delivery of a key milestone and an evaluation of the creative concept, management decided to pause plans for a 2025‑2026 AAA release. The decision follows analyses of scenario impacts discussed with the game publisher Square Enix Limited, as detailed in earlier reports. A core team of roughly ten experienced developers will be tasked with redefining the game’s direction and producing a pre‑production version that incorporates feedback from external evaluation. Concurrently, most team members will be offered opportunities to work on other group projects—Maverick, Bifrost, and Victoria. The action aligns with the updated Group strategy communicated in January 2023 and reflects a shift toward more focused resource allocation. The report cites legal grounding under Article 17(1) of the MAR Regulation and references prior interim reports (No. 3/2023 and No. 58/2023) for context. The scope is limited to the Polish‑based PCF Group and its internal development operations, with no geographic expansion noted. No specific survey or external data sources are mentioned beyond the internal evaluation; methodology is implied to be an internal review of creative milestones and strategic alignment. The conclusion underscores a reallocation of talent and resources to projects with higher immediate viability while maintaining the potential for future iteration of Project Dagger.
