EVPL update – WARDOGS just hit 1.25 million copies sold

Posted about EVPL/WARDOGS a few weeks ago when the stock was around 242p and thought I'd give an update because things have moved pretty quickly since then.

Previous post: [EVPL - Solid Buy and Here's Why](https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/comments/1vvsknw/evpl_solid_buy_and_heres_why/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

At the time the main thesis was WARDOGS having 1m+ Steam wishlists, strong pre-orders and the bet that this would actually convert into sales.

Well, WARDOGS launched yesterday and they've already announced 1 million copies sold.

Now tonight the developers have posted in their Discord that they've hit 1.25 MILLION copies sold.

For context the standard edition is around $40, so that's a pretty ridiculous launch. Obviously you can't just multiply 1.25m by $40 and call it EVPL revenue because you've got Steam's cut, regional pricing, taxes, refunds and the developer/publisher split.

But the reason EVPL is interesting is still the same.

Team17, which is owned by Everplay (LSE: EVPL), publishes WARDOGS.

Everplay also owns 20% of BULKHEAD's parent company, so they potentially benefit from both the publishing side and their ownership stake if WARDOGS becomes a major franchise.

The player numbers have also been pretty crazy. The first beta peaked around 106k concurrent players, the second got to around 245k, and now the actual paid game has been doing 300k+ concurrent players despite the servers getting absolutely hammered.

The server problems are probably the biggest risk right now. There have been huge queues and connectivity issues, so they need to get that sorted quickly before it starts hurting reviews/refunds.

But the question has changed quite a bit since my original post.

Before it was basically "will all this WARDOGS hype actually turn into sales?"

Now they've sold 1.25m copies basically at launch.

The question is how far this goes from here and how much it changes Everplay's numbers.

EVPL reports interim results on 15 September as well, so the timing is pretty interesting. I'm particularly watching for any trading update or guidance change following the launch.

EVPL was around 242.5p when I made the original post and closed around 289p before this latest 1.25m announcement.

Still holding.

Anyone else following this?

EDIT:

EVPL when original thesis posted: 242.50p

EVPL latest close: \~289p

WARDOGS: 1.25m copies sold

Will update this if they announce another sales milestone / EVPL comments on the financial impact.

EVPL long on WARDOGS 1.25m launch sales

The author argues Everplay benefits from WARDOGS' launch because its Team17 subsidiary publishes the game and Everplay also owns 20% of BULKHEAD's parent, giving it both publishing revenue and equity upside if the title becomes a franchise. WARDOGS sold 1.25 million copies at roughly $40 standard edition with 300k+ concurrent paid players, which the author expects to change Everplay's numbers, with interim results on 15 September as a near-term catalyst for a trading update or guidance change. The main stated risk is server queues and connectivity issues that could hurt reviews and drive refunds if not fixed quickly.
