Games publisher SCi announced their revenues have risen 40% for the first six months of the fiscal year, to £70 million (that’s nearly $138 million). They expect to do even better in the second six month until end March 2007 with games like Battlestations: Midway and Tomb Raider Anniversary.
The majority of the increase in revenue is from the continued success of Traveller’s Tales Games’ title Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy which so far has sold 5.4 million copies, as well as the recently released Justice League Heroes that’s expected to reach one million copies sold in the next three months.
But it’s not just existing franchises that did well for them in 2006. The same goes for Just Cause, which is also expected to sell up to one million by March, and while hints of Just Cause 2 were dropped last year, the publisher confirms via GI a sequel is indeed underway.
