Flying Wild Hog, Owned By Embracer Group, Has Unionized

What exactly can Xbox Series X/S and PS5 owners expect from Dragon’s Dogma 2 in terms of performance? It’s been an open question, with answers being surprisingly hard to come by – at first, we heard it might be targeting 30fps, but analysis of footage seemed to indicate that wasn’t necessarily the case. Capcom stepped in to say the game would have an “uncapped” framerate, which… didn’t exactly clear things up.

Borderlands maker Gearbox Entertainment is on the verge of joining Saber Interactive in being bought out of the sinking ship that is the Embracer Group, a new Kotaku report claims. It's stated that CEO Randy Pitchford shared the news with employees during a town hall meeting earlier this week, with more information coming in March. The site «understands that the decision was made to sell, and a deal is in the late stages of being finalized».

Saber Interactive, one of Embracer Group's largest development houses, will reportedly be sold off in a transaction worth $500 million. The company, which itself comprises more than 20 studios, will be sold to private investors after the deal closes. This will be the latest action from Embracer in its huge restructuring plan. This all comes from a new report from Bloomberg.

Today, a two-day digital event called Capcom Highlights was announced by the Japanese publisher. Capcom said it would be hosted by YouTube content creator FightinCowboy. Notably, it also clarified there won't be any news about Monster Hunter Wilds yet, likely to prevent the countless fans of that franchise from getting disappointed about the missed appearance.

Hogwarts Legacy was a big release, and it gave fans of the Harry Potter franchise a new means to dive into this magical and wondrous world. For players that have gone through the game, we unfortunately don’t have any official announcement that a sequel is coming. While it is rather incredibly likely, given the amount of success this first game received, a discovery might point to the Hogwarts Legacy 2 game development being handled with Unreal Engine 5, if it does exist.

Swedish gaming company Embracer Group AB will sell one of its largest subsidiaries, Saber Interactive, to a group of private investors in a deal worth up to $500 million (roughly Rs. 4,142 crore), according to a person familiar with the transaction.

There's a particular achievement that a lot of players of the survival horror hit Phasmophobia have overlooked, and it turns out to be one of the easiest trophies one can earn in the game. Despite being over three years old, the game remains popular and shows no signs of stopping with console versions of Phasmophobia still on the way, albeit delayed.

Capcom announced Monster Hunter Wilds in December at The Game Awards, handing the action RPG a 2025 launch window- which, of course, means that it might not quite be time for new details on the game to start emerging just yet. Nonetheless, many had hoped that Capcom would be talking about the next Monster Hunter instalment as part of the series’ upcoming 20th anniversary celebrations- though the company has confirmed that won’t be the case.

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.

Following reports last year that Embracer Group was considering selling Borderlands studio Gearbox as part of its ongoing «comprehensive restructuring programme», it's now being claimed a sale to a third party is in the «late stages» of being finalised.

Bloomberg is reporting that Saber Interactive, the developers reportedly working on a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is being sold by Embracer Group to a private investment group.

Gearbox could be “closer than ever” to being sold off by its parent company Embracer Group, according to a new report.
