According to information on the official website, Utmost Games positions itself as a “leading European gaming holding company” created with the goal of helping studios and publishers around the world develop and achieve success.
A Kommersant source in the media market believes that Nikolsky needed the holding to unite all foreign assets (including the publishing house Wishlist Games with World War 3 and Armored Warfare) under one management company.
According to informants, Utmost Games was launched without third-party investors – with Nikolsky’s personal funds. Kommersant’s interlocutors estimate investments in the creation of Utmost Games at $20–40 million.
