Has Focus Home Interactive ever published a good game? I honestly can't remember any.

I wonder what caused such interest in CoC as a property after largely being ignored for so long. FHI is a publisher, though. This will really depend on who gets to develop the games.

Maybe the popularity of the board games? There's certainly overlap with people who play more hardcore board games and video games.

Focus Home Interactive and Games Workshop renew their partnership on several new titles

April 12, 2019 Focus Home Interactive and Games Workshop renew their partnership on several new titles Focus Home Interactive is delighted to announce that its ongoing partnership with Games Workshop has been strengthened with the signing of multiple new titles across various IPs. Focus and Games Workshop will be working with developers at Saber Interactive, Gasket Games, and Streum On Studio across a wide range of genres and established franchises.

Saber Interactive will be working on one of Games Workshop’s most important licences, Warhammer 40,000, using their unique expertise and technology to develop a never-before-seen triple-A experience for consoles and PC.

Gasket Games, composed of veterans from the Dawn of War franchise, are developing a title matched to their core strengths in one of Games Workshop’s most popular IPs.

Finally, Streum On are evolving what they achieved with Space Hulk: Deathwing in a new IP, utilising their know-how in the First Person Shooter genre.

Focus and Games Workshop are also excited to continue their work together for the coming years and look forward to delivering and creating great experiences for Games Workshop fans and videogames players across the world.

How much of all this stuff do you think will be good?

I hope Othercide won't turn out too bad. It certainly looks stylish enough for a TBS.
