Everplay Group (AIM:EVPL) said trading since its interim results has continued to be "very strong", with the board now expecting full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA to come in materially ahead of current market expectations.
The London-listed independent games developer and publisher, known for premium video games, simulation titles and children's edutainment apps, cited outperformance from two key third-party releases alongside resilience in its back catalogue.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has sold more than one million copies across PC and console, while Wardogs has sold approximately three million copies in Early Access on PC.
Company-compiled consensus following the interim results had pointed to 2026 revenue of £197.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of £57.2 million, themselves upgraded from the £175.3 million revenue and £50.7 million EBITDA consensus flagged at the half-year stage in July.
At those interim results, Everplay had said Hell Let Loose: Vietnam's launch shifted from June to 13 August following a successful cross-platform playtest and "highly encouraging" wishlist and pre-order numbers, while Wardogs launched into Steam Early Access on 10 September, selling more than one million copies on its first day.
The board said the fourth quarter includes a number of high-profile launches from major studios, but nonetheless expects full-year results to exceed the latest market consensus.
