“Record Store Day is the most important celebration of independent music retail,” said Tony Moyers, SVP of Collectibles at Alliance Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to introduce this Handmade by Robots Record Store Day release with the iconic debut of Ozzy Osbourne. This figure is part of our new RSD Series, with releases planned for every future Record Store Day, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this moment alongside record stores and collectors alike.”

“Record Store Day gives us a powerful opportunity to connect music culture and collectibles in a way that feels authentic to independent retailers,” said Ken Glaser, SVP of Sales at Alliance Entertainment. “Since introducing Handmade by Robots at Record Store Day Summer Camp in 2025, we’ve been focused on expanding the brand’s music-related offerings. This debut is just the start, and we see meaningful opportunity to grow the series with future Record Store Day exclusives.”

“Record Store Day hasn’t done any vinyl figures since the Frank Kozik designed RSD robot figures back in 2011 and Kozik’s Nick Cave RSD figure back in 2014, so it’s exciting to be able to offer the Ozzy Osbourne RSD figure this year. We’re always looking for new ways to have some fun, so Handmade by Robots is a perfect partner.” – Michael Kurtz, co-founder Record Store Day

Crafted in Handmade by Robots’ signature “knit-look” aesthetic, each figure looks as though it’s been hand-stitched yet is precision-molded from high-quality vinyl for lasting display.

Since the acquisition of Handmade by Robots in December 2024, Alliance has rapidly expanded the brand’s retail footprint and licensing pipeline. Major new figure releases slated for the second half of 2025 and 2026 include characters from Sanrio, Jurassic World, Peanuts, Sonic the Hedgehog, SpongeBob SquarePants, Toho, and more.

Release -Snail Games Expands Global Games Pipeline with Upcoming Launches and Long-Term Publishing and Development Diversification Strategy

Research News and Market Data on SNAL

April 16, 2026 at 4:05 PM EDT

PDF Version

Company highlights ongoing transition toward a broader multi-platform portfolio supported by new indie releases, expanding partnerships, and long-term AAA development roadmap

CULVER CITY, Calif., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, today announced that Survivor Mercs will officially launch its 1.0 version on April 30, 2026. Published under the Company’s indie label, Wandering Wizard, the game will be available on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, marking its transition from Early Access into a full global release.

Built alongside its community over multiple updates, Survivor Mercs heads into 1.0 with expanded content, refined systems, and a gameplay experience designed to support long-term player engagement. With its debut on consoles, the title has the potential to reach a broader audience, further strengthening Snail Games’ multi-platform presence.

The release also reflects Wandering Wizard’s growing role within the Company’s publishing strategy. By supporting projects through development and community feedback, the label continues to bring titles to market that are both polished and positioned for long term relevance, supporting a broader shift toward scalable, internally driven growth.

This direction was recently underscored in an interview with Proactive Investors, where Snail Games highlighted its strategy forming a growing pipeline of titles. CFO Heidy Chow noted, “We don’t want to rely on just one IP, we want to be more diversified. Our focus is on building a broader portfolio across genres, platforms, and development models to create a more balanced foundation that can support long-term growth.” CFO Chow also highlighted the Company’s recently amended Software License Agreement with SDE Inc., which provides the Company with an exclusive worldwide license to publish and sell ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK Survival Ascended. Under this amended agreement, the annual license fee was reduced by $6 million, with the savings being redirected back into internal development and operations. Snail Games is actively broadening its business beyond the ARK franchise through a diversified slate of indie, mid-core, and AAA experiences.

Progress with this strategy is exemplified by Snail Games seeing encouraging traction across its broader pipeline. Echoes of Elysium, an upcoming title currently surpassing 170,000 wishlists, continues to build visibility as it progresses toward its own 1.0 release. Ongoing updates and steady community growth point to strong early interest and reinforce the game’s positioning as a high-potential addition to the Company’s portfolio.

The Company’s expanding pipeline is supported by increased investment in internal development, global studio partnerships, and a continued focus on long-term content creation. Bellwright, developed by Polish studio Donkey Crew, of which Snail Games holds a strategic ownership stake, serves as a clear example of this approach in action. The title surpassed 1 million lifetime downloads earlier this year and continues to see ongoing expansion following its early access launch. It will also be featured in Steam’s Medieval Fest next week, providing additional visibility and further engagement opportunities before its 1.0 release and console port.

This approach extends further into the longer term pipeline, where three internally developed AAA titles are currently in progress for 2027, including For The Stars. Together, this combination of active releases and future facing development supports a more continuous content cycle designed to expand global reach and build a more diversified and durable portfolio over time.

Snail (SNAL) – Licensing Agreement Raises Cash Flow; Raise Price Target


Tuesday, April 14, 2026

Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Equity Research Analyst, Digital, Media & Technology , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Jacob Mutchler, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Snail Renegotiates ARK License. The amendment lowers fixed licensing costs from $2.0 million to $1.5 million per month, implying  $1.5 million in quarterly savings. The obligation remains in place until the release of ARK 2, preserving near-term cost visibility. The move shows that the company is independently evaluating contracts on a timely basis.

DLC Payment Terms Revised to Reduce Future Cash Obligations. The amendment replaces blanket $5 million DLC payments with a more selective structure, excluding certain content such as DLCs already bundled in ARK: Survival Ascended. This change further moderates future cash outflows tied to the franchise. Improved cash flow generation provides greater flexibility to invest in upcoming titles and franchise development. It also reduces financial risk as the company transitions toward the next major ARK release.

Soccerex events convene decision-makers responsible for billions in annual football-related investment, creating a structured environment to originate proprietary deal flow, evaluate opportunities, and execute revenue-generating transactions aligned with the Company’s growth strategy for the Sports.com brand. The Company expects this partnership to serve as a catalyst for revenue-generating partnerships and strategic transactions across its Sports.com platform.

For nearly 30 years, Soccerex has brought together clubs, leagues, federations, investors, and commercial partners from across the game, creating a trusted meeting point for the conversations, relationships, and opportunities that shape the future of football.

The collaboration will give the Company direct access to senior decision-makers responsible for more than $1 billion in annual football-related commercial spend, while also creating opportunities to contribute to industry dialogue, participate in structured commercial introductions through Soccerex’s Deal Network, and build year-round visibility across Soccerex’s expanding media and digital ecosystem.

Through this partnership, Sports.com will leverage Soccerex’s ecosystem to accelerate:

  • Content distribution partnerships;
  • Sponsorship and brand integration opportunities;
  • Strategic investments and acquisitions within football; and
  • Development of Sports.com’s global media and streaming footprint.

Garrett Armando Navia, CEO, Soccerex, commented: “Sports.com isn’t just partnering with Soccerex – they’re stepping into the center of the global football ecosystem at a time when the industry is evolving faster than ever.

“For nearly three decades, Soccerex has been the platform where the most important relationships in football are built and where the business of the game moves forward. This partnership brings together two platforms aligned in vision – one focused on being the connective core of the global football economy and the other focused on engagement and innovation.

“Together, we are creating something bigger than events – a year-round system that drives real outcomes, unlocks opportunity, and shapes the next era of the football economy.”

The relationship is structured to generate measurable commercial outcomes by positioning Sports.com within the flow of influence, investment, and innovation across the global football ecosystem. By aligning with Soccerex’s established reach to key industry stakeholders and powerbrokers, the Company will play a central role in creating a more connected, commercially active, and globally relevant football business environment.  

Marc Bircham, SEGG Media Chairman added: “For SEGG Media, the timing of this partnership could not be more perfect. As things heat up for the Company in its pursuit of acquiring a European football club, Soccerex is an ideal partner with access to the most trusted and influential stakeholders in the global football business. There is no other platform that convenes this level of decision-making power across the sport.

We also view this partnership as an execution platform designed to convert access into measurable commercial outcomes and accelerate the monetization of the Sports.com brand.

“This is a partnership built on scale, credibility, and shared ambition – and we are proud to be part of Soccerex’s next chapter as it continues to define the future of football.”

The Company will approach this partnership with a disciplined focus on converting access into measurable outcomes aligned with its broader capital allocation and growth strategy, and expects to provide updates on commercial partnerships, strategic initiatives, and transaction activity arising from this collaboration.

This partnership represents a strategic step in embedding Sports.com within the global football economy and advancing the Company’s broader acquisition-led and revenue-focused growth strategy.

An in-line Q4. Direct Digital reported Q4 revenue of $8.4M (down 7% YoY), reflecting a sharp decline in sell-side activity, partially offset by strong buy-side growth (+28% YoY).

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”), the global sports, entertainment, and gaming group, today announced the appointments of Veloce executives Daniel Bailey as Chief Commercial Officer and Jack Clarke as Chief Strategy Officer, further strengthening our leadership team as SEGG Media moves forward in its strategic growth phase.

After completing the Veloce acquisition and materially increasing the Company’s revenue, these appointments have been made to further support SEGG Media’s 90-day plan focused on execution, integrating operations and teams, and monetizing new assets.

Operators with Proven Track Records

Daniel Bailey, Chief Commercial Officer, brings over a decade of experience in motorsport and global sports commercial strategy, having delivered $53+ million in commercial partnerships and revenue.

Mr. Bailey played a key role in scaling Veloce Media Group, including structuring the acquisition of Quadrant and securing a series of multi-million-pound funding rounds. His experience includes partnerships with global blue-chip brands and rights holders including Formula 1, VISA, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, E.ON, Tencent, Sotheby’s, and Deutsche Bank.

Previously, Mr. Bailey led commercial efforts at IMG Motorsports and co-founded MPA Creative, an award-winning PR, marketing, and events agency, where he remains an active Director. MPA was named 2026 Boutique Agency of the Year at the Race Media Awards.

As Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Bailey will lead SEGG Media’s global monetization strategy, focused on revenue growth, partnerships, and value creation across the Company’s digital ecosystem.

Jack Clarke, Chief Strategy Officer, combines elite sporting experience with high-growth media entrepreneurship. A former professional racing driver with wins and podiums in FIA Formula 2, he transitioned into business in 2015.

After roles in a sports technology investment fund and IMG, Mr. Clarke co-founded Veloce Media Group, helping build one of the fastest-growing digital motorsport and gaming media platforms globally. He played a key role in scaling Veloce’s esports operations and growing its media network to over 600 million monthly views – shaping commercial and strategic direction from inception, and driving innovation across content, partnerships, and revenue models.

As Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Clarke will focus on enterprise strategy, capital discipline, and integration execution to ensure acquisitions translate into scalable revenue and long-term shareholder value.

Marc Bircham, Chairman of SEGG Media, commented: “We are aligning leadership for execution to deliver the results expected of us by our shareholders. Dan and Jack are operators who have built, scaled, and monetized platforms globally.”

Robert Stubblefield, Chief Financial Officer and Interim President and CEO, added: “Dan and Jack bring a rare combination of strategic discipline and commercial firepower. Their experience in scaling Veloce and delivering real revenue growth directly aligns with our priorities. We believe this significantly strengthens our ability to execute and deliver value that is not yet reflected in the market.”
