No, they're not really in the business of creating things, just mergers and acquisitions. Wouldn't be surprised if it completely collapses before long.
>Wouldn't be surprised if it completely collapses before long.
Meanwhile execs get their golden parachutes so the only ones who suffer are the stupid computer nerds tasked with actually making games.
Would love a list of Embracer's releases this year under all their subsidiaries.
After assessing our pipeline, we are confident in clearly improved ROI on new products compared to the last quarters. PLAION is approaching the release of the anticipated first-person action RPG Dead Island 2 on April 21. Several other upcoming large-budget games have also recently been announced for FY 23/24, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Remnant 2, and Payday 3. In total, we have 94 projects scheduled to be released FY 23/24 of which 58 are yet to be announced. We have invested significantly in one of the most diversified pipelines in the industry, empowered by the combined force of more than 11,000 game developers across the globe.
the thing about embracer was they gambled hard and lost.
they bought up pretty much everyone and told them to not worry about money and just do the games they love to do and as long as the balance sheets are positive the amount of profit didnt really matter.
that being said embracer counted on about 2 billion in investment from saudis and those saudis promised the money but backed off literally the last second in the middle of an investor call when the ceo was about to announce that they would invest those 2 billion.
now embracer is 2 billion out and has to sell off assets and cut of studios to not go bankrupt.
embracer itself wasnt really a bad idea and they didnt do anything terrible. they gambled with money they didn have and lost. that was their mistake.
they are developers as well, but theyre so frickin incompetent that they might as well not exist (see: kingpin remaster and other projects in development hell)
What's going to happen to Graven, Phantom Fury, and Wrath now? Surely they won't leave the EA buyers hanging? So much for a boomer shooter renaissance.
Wrath isn't being developed in-house so I think it'll be fine
Graven is close enough to the finish line that it'll probably still hit 1.0 at least
Phantom Fury has a good chance of being cancelled
>Wrath isn't being developed in-house so I think it'll be fine
Actually they turned into an internal project a while ago. I'd like to read a post-mortem once it's out, it had to be a nightmare.
>thq dies >it's ips are sold piece by piece >one company buys the thq name >they go the way of thq and will have all their old ips sold piece by piece >some company will buy the thq name >the cycle repeats
i didnt enjoy a single boomer shooter they released and ive been modding doom for the past 10 years
ive seen better weapon wads than anything these 3dBlack folk put out, good riddance
Same. These Black folk had the audacity to charge for games worse than Doom wads. I'm just going to play the new Eviternity and not care about these guys going under.
>Danish
Isn't this actually Interceptor Entertainment just skinwalking as the old 3D Realms? Good riddance to that vaporware peddling homosexual Frederik.
No amount of support from trans people would make up for the loss of revenue of any other demographic. Why do companies cater to them when they don't amount for even a single Digit percent of the populous? They are just obnoxiously loud. They aren't wealthy by any sense and seem to only hate things.
I'm surprised they haven't tried selling to Microsoft. 2 billion doesn't sound like a lot of money to them and they'd get 20+ new studios for gamepass.
Because they have a 2 billion dollar sized hole in their books from counting on money that wasn't guaranteed, so they need to cut down expenses literally this instant. And the flipside of buying out cheap AA IPs and studios is that none of those are really gamechangers and therefore not attractive enough to the big publishers, not to mention that with layoffs, budget cuts, and drying up investments industrywide affecting even the biggest players, interest in buying is down massively, and specially at this market segment.
Embracer deserves everything they are getting.
homies bet big and lost.
Their mandatory investors stream was priceless, you could see their souls leaving their bodies as they announced that their new highest projection is worse the old lowest projections.
*fans
Has this Embracer group been responsible for any good game releases yet? Remasters and remakes don't count.
No, they're not really in the business of creating things, just mergers and acquisitions. Wouldn't be surprised if it completely collapses before long.

no but that's what happens when you bet on saudi swindlers

No, their whole business model is to buy as many companies as they can and hope they make a profit. The company name should make it obvious.
When are NJPW making another game?
You will get nonstop mobile slop and you will like it
frick you gedo
I think saber (owner of 3drealms) released snowrunner and world war Z, but I'm not sure if they were under embracer then.
Based embracer, shitting on talentless gays that thought they were saved my wholesome corporation
Embracer was the worst thing to happen to videogames
Weird, I thought the new 3DRealms was just a publisher themselves. I didn't know they had actual developers.
they are developers as well, but theyre so frickin incompetent that they might as well not exist (see: kingpin remaster and other projects in development hell)
after playing the phantom fury demo and seeing the state of the kingpin """remaster""", who can blame them?
What's going to happen to Graven, Phantom Fury, and Wrath now? Surely they won't leave the EA buyers hanging? So much for a boomer shooter renaissance.
It's ogre.
Probably more development hell for those.
At least we still have Nightdive doing proper revives of old games.
Wrath isn't being developed in-house so I think it'll be fine
Graven is close enough to the finish line that it'll probably still hit 1.0 at least
Phantom Fury has a good chance of being cancelled
>Wrath isn't being developed in-house so I think it'll be fine

Surely they will deliver.
Most of the work is done i would assume
They're getting rid of half the devs according to the OP so yeah.
Surely these are 99% done by now and just in final bug testing? They've been in dev for like 5 years
🙂
>get saudi money
>go on a shopping spree

Wasn't really 3DR anymore anyway just a bunch of European larpers good riddance.
Bought at 20, I'm up 500% using options
Sell Black person wtf are you doing
This shit is about to collapse
bought what?
>buys up notable studios
>doesn't do anything with them
>shuts them down later
Worthwhile acquisitions.
Would love a list of Embracer's releases this year under all their subsidiaries.
Here's some notable ones:
Dead Island 2
Remnant 2
Jagged Alliance 3
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2
Risk of Rain Returns
Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake
System Shock Remake was published by Prime Matter who are an Embracer subsidiary under Plaion. Frick this is hard to dig through.
Remember when people thought we were going to get a new Adam Jensen Deus Ex after Eidos Montreal got transferred from Squeenix to Embracer?
I 'member..
i didnt enjoy a single boomer shooter they released and ive been modding doom for the past 10 years
ive seen better weapon wads than anything these 3dBlack folk put out, good riddance
Same. These Black folk had the audacity to charge for games worse than Doom wads. I'm just going to play the new Eviternity and not care about these guys going under.
RIP discount Command and Conquer
Well, shit.
I didn't know that. Shoot. RIP.
>THQ Nordic will likely die before there's ever a Strife solo Darksiders game.
FRICK
So I'm not getting my Tempest Rising? Well, frick me, I guess.
>they announced a delay a few days ago
>now this
it's over
That demo was so good. That's a fricking shame.
Serves them right.
That's what they get for going woke.
selling out to the saudis is going woke?
>the new 3DR
People who made 3D Realms great already left the company long time ago, raging over this is moronic
>Danish
Isn't this actually Interceptor Entertainment just skinwalking as the old 3D Realms? Good riddance to that vaporware peddling homosexual Frederik.
why don't troonycels support their favorite publishers?
no amount of support from trannies or otherwise is going to make up for a multibillion $ saudi investment.
No amount of support from trans people would make up for the loss of revenue of any other demographic. Why do companies cater to them when they don't amount for even a single Digit percent of the populous? They are just obnoxiously loud. They aren't wealthy by any sense and seem to only hate things.
now if only someone communicated that to all the troony lovers at these floundering companies
Whatever. This win-geforce guy got too wienery after few successful years (while releasing remasters of old franchises).
Finally
Come on, put THEM out of their misery already.
I had so much hope for them after Risen 1 but then came the second game.
Elex 2 showed that even with enough Money and time they suck.
Theyre really terrible at making games
I'm surprised they haven't tried selling to Microsoft. 2 billion doesn't sound like a lot of money to them and they'd get 20+ new studios for gamepass.
>3drealms
who?
is CULTIC fricked?
I guess most boomers can't be there to save them cuz they died. 🙁
Why not just sell the studios instead of shutting them down?
Seems rather silly to me.
Because they have a 2 billion dollar sized hole in their books from counting on money that wasn't guaranteed, so they need to cut down expenses literally this instant. And the flipside of buying out cheap AA IPs and studios is that none of those are really gamechangers and therefore not attractive enough to the big publishers, not to mention that with layoffs, budget cuts, and drying up investments industrywide affecting even the biggest players, interest in buying is down massively, and specially at this market segment.
they probably get more from the tax writeoff than they would from a sale
I'd bet they pay less in taxes that way
It's not the same 3DRealms that we grew up with, so I'm not sure why anyone should care.
Embracer deserves everything they are getting.
homies bet big and lost.
Their mandatory investors stream was priceless, you could see their souls leaving their bodies as they announced that their new highest projection is worse the old lowest projections.
