The studios working under the company have 118 titles in development, 69 of which have not been announced yet--and some of the most anticipated titles will not release until after March 2021. "Looking into the next financial year ending March 31 2022, we expect continued organic growth driven by further increase in the value of completed games including the first AAA games releases since Metro Exodus," the report reads.

Dead Island 2 is also unlikely, despite having been in development (across multiple studios) since at least 2014--as a new open-world title, it's likely to be considered AAA.
