Strategic Profile
Pro stress-test →The company announced in April 2024 that it will split into three separate publicly traded companies by April 2026: Fellowship Entertainment (managing Tolkien and 300+ game IPs), Asmodee Group (board/card games), and a third entity under Coffee Stain Group. This restructuring positions each segment for independent growth while maintaining strong intellectual property portfolios and established publishing infrastructure across global markets.
