Wingefors said Embracer will try to transition those affected to other projects internally, stressing “that while we are removing roles in some companies, we will continue to hire in others”. Wingefors hit the headlines last month when a mystery $2 billion deal fell through unexpectedly at the last minute.Īccording to Embracer, it had a "verbal commitment" for a major deal made in October 2022 which would have included "more than $2 billion in contracted development revenue over a period of six years”. Last year's Saints Row fared less well, however.Įmbracer is also behind the troubled Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, which is currently in the hands of Aspyr. ( UPDATE: Crystal Dynamics insists its Tomb Raider project and the contract development it's doing on Perfect Dark for Microsoft studio The Initiative are not impacted by the Embracer restructure.)Įmbracer recently released Dead Island 2, which Wingefors called “one of our greatest successes so far”. In December, Amazon Games signed a deal with Embracer-owned Crystal Dynamics to support the development of and publish the next mainline Tomb Raider game being made in Unreal Engine 5. Its empire includes companies such as THQ Nordic, Plaion, Saber Interactive, Gearbox, Middle-earth Enterprises, Dark Horse Media, Coffee Stain, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montreal, Asmodee, Amplifier, Deep Silver, and many others.Įmbracer games set to release in the next year include Remnant 2, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2, Payday 3, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, Arizona Sunshine 2, Alone in the Dark, Homeworld 3, and more.
