It was a great week at Portal Games. We had the final debate and we have locked down our plans for 2025. Similarly to 2024, we will go slow in the first half of the year, focusing on promotion and additional free content for our evergreens like Robinson Crusoe, or Imperial Miners, and then the summer hits and we will offer you some new amazing titles!
The official press release and announcement are planned for January at our annual event called Portalcon. However, I think I can discuss some small details with you and tease what we are up to for 2025.
First of all, I can tease that we will do a small love project dedicated to wargames. It is not Portal Games main focus, we have no single wargame in our catalog yet, but we stumbled on an extremely interesting wargame, and since this is my personal passion and love, I decided we will green light this little gem and try to present you something extraordinary.
Then, I can tease that in 2025 we will release a science fiction game, it’s an awesome game that we picked for the North America market and I cannot wait to announce it officially. There are various galactic races, planets to conquer, technologies and abilities to gain, it is a full blown sf strategy, and yet, it has a reasonable footprint – no minis, no gigantic board, no overproduced components. Just pure gameplay. I am very proud we signed this game for Portal Games.
For Essen we will have a new edition of our older title and a brand new card game designed by a young designer – with this one I am obsessed with, the theme is absolutely unique and fun, and the gameplay cannot better fit our tagline Board Games That Tell Stories. We are still developing the game, and then there is a lot of art and design to be done, but I really cannot wait to finally announce this little gem and then release it.
The next year looks very promising for us – we have great games in the pipeline, we have a variety of themes and gameplay styles and I believe each of you, fans of our brand, will find something that you and your friends will fall in love with.
Thank you for your time, thank you for reading my letters to you and I hope to talk to you next week!
