The Embracer Company she announcedthat he will retain the 4A Games and Zen Studios teams. The creators of the Metro series, Pinball FX and Zen Pinball respectively, were part of the option in the recent sale of the Saber Interactive arm. The aforementioned deal has been completed, but 4A Games and Zen Studios will ultimately remain with Embracer and not change hands.
Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors stated that they are satisfied with the outcome of the transaction and is pleased that these teams and their brands will remain part of Embracer. According to him, they are important building blocks for their further journey.
Wingeford also thanked Saber founder Matthew Karch for his contribution to the company and congratulated the company on the successful release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Saber boss Matthew Karch he said Bloomberg that originally the goal was to acquire 4A Games as well, but in the end the conviction prevailed that it would be better for all parties if the team remained in Saber. But we don’t know the details.
According to Embracer, 4A Games has two AAA titles in development and can’t wait to introduce them. Embracer announced the sale of Saber Interactive in March of this year for $247 million. Today Saber belongs to Karch’s investment company Beacon Interactive.
Although we received news this week of further layoffs at Embracer-owned studio Lost Boys Interactive, the major restructuring process itself was completed some time ago and the company should be healthy after being slimmed down. Hopefully.
