HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The RoyaLand Company Ltd. (Proposed OTC Markets Ticker: RLND) (RoyaLand), a Bermuda holding company focused on creating an online and offline immersive, fantasy-based royalty-themed experience called myRoyal.World, primarily centered around a mobile-first massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG, called TheRoyal.Land, today announced preliminary selected unaudited financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, RoyaLand expects to record an adjusted net loss of approximately $1.1 million. RoyaLand operated during the fiscal year as a development stage company, with its largest expense item being product research and development costs of approximately $0.4 million. Other major expense items included legal and accounting fees of approximately $0.4 million, and consulting fees of approximately $0.2 million which included $175,000 of stock-based compensation.
The preliminary selected unaudited results in this press release are preliminary and subject to the completion of accounting and audit procedures and are therefore subject to adjustment.
About RoyaLand: RoyaLand is a Bermuda holding company focused on creating an online and offline immersive, fantasy-based royalty-themed experience called myRoyal.World, primarily centered around a mobile-first massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG, called TheRoyal.Land. We are actively focused on developing what we believe to be a novel, interactive and immersive game based on a player-empowered design. We plan to build proprietary digital avatars and provide opportunities to players to earn in-game reward currency, build virtual land, and own their online assets while enhancing all of these features with what we consider to be premium incremental in-game content.
We are developing TheRoyal.Land and myRoyal.World in collaboration with our founder, the Monaco-based grandson of the last King of Italy, Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, who claims the titles of His Royal Highness, Prince of Venice, and Prince of Piedmont and is also referred to as the hereditary “Prince of Italy.” In addition, with the support of and affiliation with seven other royal families and families with legal, hereditary or historically based claims to royal positions in Russia, Albania, France, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Lesotho, and Mecklenburg collectively referred to as the Royal Families, TheRoyal.Land is intended to deliver this unique past-meets-future entertainment experience.
We believe that TheRoyal.Land will introduce the first historically inspired monarchy-based MMORPG, founded by the Prince of Italy and reinforced by the Royal Families.
Our objective is to connect and engage with players from around the world through royalty-themed entertainment by becoming a worldwide leader in the development, publishing, and distribution of high-quality interactive entertainment content and services, as well as related media, that deliver engaging entertainment experiences to our network of connected players on a year-round basis. Players, in their selected roles, will represent every part of TheRoyal.Land society. From the Artisans that guide the skilled trades of old to the Knights and Squires that guard the Realm. From Prisoner to Prince, each role will hold specific purposes, abilities, skills, chances for advancement, and adventures.
To that end, we expect to capitalize on the expanding video games market, with worldwide revenue expected to grow to approximately $282.3 billion in 2024 according to Statista, and the increased interest in the world of royalty to expand our brand and our products worldwide (Statista, Video Games – Worldwide, November 2023).
We are currently in the development phase for TheRoyal.Land and myRoyal.World. On June 30, 2023, we entered into a project agreement with Neosperience S.p.A., or Neosperience, pursuant to which Neosperience will design and develop TheRoyal.Land using its proprietary technology. The first phase of the project agreement has already commenced. Neosperience plans to use its models to create complex and dynamic in-game environments and realistic and emotive characters and to assist with dynamically adjusting the difficulty level and game balance in real time based on player behavior and performance to keep the game challenging yet rewarding. For example, Neosperience’s technology is designed to imbue non-player characters, or NPCs, with various behaviors, which we believe makes them seem more lifelike and responsive thereby enhancing player immersion and creating a more engaging gameplay experience. Additionally, Neosperience intends to use advanced modeling and rendering techniques to create realistic player characters and NPCs that dynamically interact utilizing a full range of human-like emotions, reactions and movements giving them a depth of character which we believe is rarely seen in video games.
