  "account": "CI Games has secured a $32 million (€28.6 million) syndicated loan to complete and self-publish Lords of the Fallen II. The credit facility, arranged with Polish banks Erste Bank Polska and Bank Ochrony Środowiska, will cover the sequel's remaining production costs, global marketing campaign, and launch. The loan, maturing in August 2027, also refinances the group's existing bank debt. Polish export credit agency KUKE guarantees 80% of the facility. CI Games CEO and president Marek Tymiński stated that the financing was secured without issuing new shares, protecting shareholders' full participation in the game's potential success. The deal follows the termination of CI Games' publishing agreement with Epic Games, effective April 14, which will allow the studio to self-publish the game across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.",
