The transaction occurred on 23 April 2021, with the new studio commencing operations on 1 May 2021. PCF Chicago secured an eighteen‑person team, including three founding members of Phosphor Games.

Financing for the acquisition was sourced from a loan granted on 31 March 2021 by People Can Fly U.S., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PCF Group. The scope covers the United States, specifically Chicago and New York, within the video‑game development sector. The report reflects a corporate restructuring aimed at consolidating talent and assets under the PCF Group umbrella, enhancing operational efficiency and expanding its North American presence.

The report announces that PCF Group S.A., headquartered in Warsaw, entered into a non‑binding Letter of Intent on 17 June 2023 with a prominent U.S. entertainment company to develop a virtual‑reality action/combat video game under the code name “Dolphin.” The intent is to negotiate a production agreement with a publisher or its affiliate, under which PCF will act as a work‑for‑hire developer. The publisher’s total budget for the project is estimated between 16 million and 24 million USD, with intellectual property rights ultimately belonging to the publisher within contractual limits. Development is projected to conclude in 2025, with release planned for current and future leading VR hardware platforms. The report clarifies that signing the Letter of Intent does not guarantee a final production contract, and further details will be disclosed in a separate public update. The scope covers the U.S. entertainment partner and global VR platforms, focusing on action/combat gameplay. No survey or statistical methodology is cited; the information derives from corporate governance announcements and contractual estimates.
The report informs that on 23 September 2022 the board of PCF Group S.A. received a letter from Take‑Two Interactive Software, Inc., indicating its intention to terminate the production‑publishing agreement dated 21 July 2020 for the title Project Dagger. The board has reviewed the proposed termination agreement, which includes a favourable modification of settlement terms for the parties. The proposal differentiates repayment amounts based on whether the game will be released via self‑publishing or through a new publisher, and it does not contain any clause suggesting that Take‑Two intends to exercise an intellectual‑property buy‑out option. During the first half of 2022, PCF Group completed all work specified in the original contract’s schedule and received full contractual remuneration. Despite ongoing negotiations, no new execution agreement has been signed to continue development of Project Dagger. Consequently, the board expects the contract to be terminated under terms essentially matching those in the proposed agreement. Under International Financial Reporting Standard 38, costs incurred for further development of Project Dagger will be capitalised as intangible assets. This accounting treatment is projected to materially affect the group’s financial results for the first half of 2022 and will continue to influence subsequent reporting periods as development proceeds under a self‑publishing model. The group remains committed to continuing Project Dagger’s development using internal funds, with the possibility of debt financing or partnership with a new publisher. The board will provide additional updates on the termination in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Globally, geopolitical developments continue to command attention, prompting companies to monitor for potential implications.
The report informs stakeholders that the production agreement negotiations for the virtual‑reality action/combat game code‑named “Dolphin” have been indefinitely suspended. The PCF Group S.A., headquartered in Warsaw, had previously entered a non‑binding letter of intent with a prominent U.S. entertainment company on 17 June 2023 to develop the game for VR platforms. On 22 September 2023, the publisher notified the company that work on the project would be halted permanently. Informal discussions suggest the decision is linked to ongoing industry strikes in the United States, creating uncertainty within the entertainment sector. Consequently, all negotiations regarding the production agreement have been put on hold. The report covers a single geographic region—Poland and the United States—and focuses exclusively on the video‑game development segment, specifically virtual reality action titles. No survey or statistical methodology is employed; the information is based on direct communication between company representatives and the publisher. The primary conclusion is that external labor disputes have disrupted the partnership, leading to a suspension of contractual negotiations and project development.
