The Management Board of VARSAV Game Studios S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw (hereinafter referred to as the "Issuer", "Company") hereby announces that in response to the demand of the Company's investors and business partners, the Issuer will also publish current and periodic reports of key importance to the Company in English.

The Management Board of Varsav Game Studios S.A. hereby presents a new business strategy for 2025-2027, focusing on the development of premium games with main animal characters and expansion into the mobile games and animated film markets.

BUSINESS STRATEGY FOR 2025-2027

1. In-House Premium Games Development

- At least one indie premium game (PC, consoles) release every two years, with a strong focus on mechanics, replayability, and elements that enable long-term franchise growth.

- Concentration on projects featuring unique animal protagonists, developed by the in-house development team.

- The inspiration behind this approach is the growing trend among Millennials and Gen Z of postponing kids-family life in favor of pet-family life. Globally, around 35% of console gamers own dogs, translating to a potential market of approximately 219 million players. Creating games with strong animal protagonists connects players' passion for gaming with their attachment to pets, fostering potential deeper emotional engagement with our titles.

2. Seeking For Partnerships In Mobile Gaming Market

- Seeking strategic partners to adapt existing IPs (BARKOUR, Project ARIA) for mobile platforms.

- Independently or collaboratively developing new mobile projects based on the Company's IPs to increase their global reach and commercial potential.

3. IP Development Through Animated Movies

- Initiating collaborations with film studios to develop full-length animations based on the studio's games Project ARIA, BARKOUR, Giants Uprising.

- Developing and implementing an innovative production pipeline enabling the simultaneous development of games and animated films using shared or adapted graphical assets, locations, and scripts.

- Significantly reducing time and optimizing costs for concurrent game and film production using Unreal Engine 5.

- Expanding the commercial potential of the Company's IPs by leveraging them across complementary media.

4. Building Competitive Advantage Through R_D and AI Integration

- Continuing AI-supported R_D efforts in animation systems, based on the QUADRIMA framework.

- Expanding AI applications in game production, including automation of game testing and optimization processes.

- Ethical and production-driven AI utilization, ensuring practical application to enhance production efficiency.

5. Minimizing Investments in External Entities

- Prioritizing the commercialization of projects developed within the Company's group by supporting their business and marketing strategies.

- Reducing investments in new external entities to focus on scaling and developing existing projects.

6. Publishing Strategy: Self-Publishing or Late-Stage Publishing Partnerships

- Gradually transitioning to a self-publishing model, allowing for greater independence, full creative realization, and revenue maximization.

- Developing in-house marketing and distribution capabilities to ensure greater control over the publishing process and long-term sales strategies.

- Engaging with publishers only in the later stages of production to secure above-market collaboration terms and minimize external influence on the creative vision.

LONG-TERM VISION

The Company aims to consolidate the position of VARSAV Game Studios as a developer recognizable in creating premium games with animal protagonists and their extensions in the form of mobile games and animated films. Development of IP in various media will allow for broader commercialization of projects and building brand recognition on global markets.
