Saber Interactive Splits From Embracer Group, Reportedly Bringing Metro Series Studio 4A Games With It

Saber Interactive is officially splitting from Embracer Group, bringing a few more studios formerly owned by the Swedish company with it as well. As reported yesterday, Embracer Group confirmed it has agreed to sell Saber Interactive to Beacon Interactive, a company owned by Saber's co-founder Matthew Karch, for $247 million. As such, Embracer officially ceases all operations in Russia, improving the company's cash flow and reducing future liabilities.

Saber is also granted the right […]

Embracer Group is Reportedly Selling Off Saber Interactive and Possibly Gearbox Software

Embracer Group gobbled up a lot of studios during its 2020-era spending spree, but perhaps the biggest acquisitions were Saber Interactive (World War Z, many, many ports) and Gearbox Software (Borderlands). It’s clear Embracer had big plans for Saber and Gearbox, as both were spun into entire company divisions with other smaller studios reporting to them, but those plans have changed – Embracer’s fortunes took a turn when a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia fell through and the company has been desperately cutting costs since. Apparently, this means two of their crown jewels have to go. According to Bloomberg’s […]

Embracer Still Has a Few Larger Divestment Processes Coming Up; Third-Party Publishing Will Be More Selective

This morning, the Embracer Group released its Q3 fiscal year 2023/2024 financial report. The company managed to deliver slightly above expectations thanks to non-core game divisions like Asmodee, Middle-earth Enterprises, and mobile, while the PC and console segment was down 9% due to a lighter release schedule. Games like The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Risk of Rain Returns, and the DLCs of Remnant II and Dead Island 2 overperformed, while PAYDAY 3, Arizona Sunshine 2, Wildcard Football, and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged underperformed. Overall net sales grew by 4%, reaching $1.15 billion, an all-time high for […]

Deus Ex Revival from Eidos Montreal Reportedly Canceled by Embracer, Job Losses Expected

While they weren’t quite the blockbuster sellers their publishers hoped they’d be, the recent Deus Ex titles from developer Eidos Montreal have a pretty rabid fanbase who are always eager for any news of Adam Jensen’s return. Back in 2022 the reliable Jason Schreier let slip that Eidos Montreal was moving forward with a new Deus Ex following the acquisition of the IP and studio by Embracer Group. Of course, that was a very different time for Embracer. A time when it seemed pretty much anything could get greenlit at the company and they proudly boasted of the hundreds of […]
