Embracer Group has just announced an agreement with Square Enix to acquire several of their western development studios, namely Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal and Square Enix Montreal. Furthermore, they would also acquire the rights to a catalogue of over 50 different IPs, including the likes of Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain and Thief.

Co-founder and Group CEO of Embracer Group, Lars Wingefors, mentions in a press release the “fantastic IP, world class creative talent, and track record of excellence” of these studios and their wish to help them “realize their ambitions”. Meanwhile Phil Rogers, CEO of Square Enix America and Europe, mentions Embracer as “the best-kept secret in gaming” and a “perfect fit for [Square Enix’s] ambitions: make high-quality games, with great people, sustainably, and grow our existing franchises to their best versions ever.” They’ve also disclosed that this transaction will enable “the launch of new businesses by moving forward with investments in fields including blockchain, AI, and the cloud”.

Hamster has announced that Youkai Douchuki will be the next game releasing on the eShop under the Arcade Archives label. Here is some more information about the game courtesy of the International Arcade Museum.

Nintendo has just announced that Hulu is being made available today for Switch users in Japan. The app was originally released in North America not long after the Switch’s launch back in 2017, but hadn’t made its way to any other territories.

It’s an interesting move, particularly since Nintendo has slowly been adding more media apps to its catalog. Just a few months ago, Crunchyroll made its way to the system in a surprise release and a few months before that, Pokemon TV landed on the eShop. Although a few other apps like Youtube and Funimation have been on the platform for a while, it’s been mostly devoid of several larger streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. This should remedy that problem a little, at least for Japanese users.
