Square Enix announces new cross-platform strategy

The Japanese video game company Square Enix revealed that it will have a new multiplatform strategy which includes the platforms of Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation and, of course, PC.

This announcement is revealed after Square Enix presented the results in its annual financial report that runs from April 2023 to March 2024. The new strategy aims to diversify income opportunities and aims to allow more consumers to enjoy their video games.

This means that many franchises and titles with AAA treatment would now also come out on more platforms, all with the sole objective of giving players access to those video games.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the report does not reveal which games will be multiplatform in the short, medium or long term. We bet that this Japanese publisher will take advantage of the different presentations of its partners during the summer to make some kind of announcement for the different communities of gamers.

After reviewing the overall market and consumer feedback, Square Enix came to several conclusions. AAA productions will continue regularly, games with more modest budgets will have the priority of being profitable. The new proposals should provide new forms of excitement to players, balanced with revenue potential.

Square Enix could bring Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest to other media

One of the most notable data from square enix in its most recent report is that of profits from the sale of merchandise. The Japanese company seems to have found a captive audience for its products beyond video games.

That brings us to the point of who will now take their IPs such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest to other media. That is, movies, television series, animations and so on.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that this is a trend that arises thanks to the success that several adaptations of video games to television and cinema are having. We already saw that Fallout was an outstanding series and here comes the Borderlands movie that aims to be a very entertaining product.
