SteamWorld Build underperformed, says publisher Thunderful

SteamWorld Build publisher Thunderful said the game “fell slightly short of expectations”, as its company restructure is “off to a good start”.

It’s designed to “address past overinvestments”, one of which was perhaps Bridge Constructor publisher Headup that Thunderful acquired for €11m (£9.39m) in 2021.

“Furthermore, Thunderful does not need two separate publishing operations and the Group’s game publishing activities will be channelled solely through Thunderful Publishing going forward.”
