TL;DR Summary

Frontier Developments, the developer behind Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, has experienced a significant drop in shares after the game's poor launch sales. The real-time strategy game, set in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe, failed to meet expectations, with low player numbers and mixed user reviews on Steam. Frontier plans to support the game with post-release content and premium DLC, hoping for sales to improve over time. The company has faced a challenging year, with other recent games underperforming and a wave of redundancies. Frontier is now refocusing on creative management simulation (CMS) games, with three future CMS games planned. Despite the setback, Frontier's existing CMS games, such as Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution, continue to perform well. The company expects to break even in the next financial year through revenue from existing games, cost reductions, and the release of a new CMS game.
