Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News | 0 comments
You might recall that a few months ago, Embracer Group made headlines by acquiring several development studios and IPs previously owned by Square Enix. Well it seems they weren’t done, as they’ve gone on somewhat of a new acquisition spree.
On the gaming side, Embracer Group has announced that they are acquiring Limited Run Games, Singtrix, Tuxedo Labs, Tripwire Interactive, Tatsujin (notable because foreign studios rarely purchase Japanese companies), Bitwave Games, Gioteck and another as-of-yet undisclosed PC/Console gaming company. Additionally, they are also acquiring Middle-earth Enterprises, a company which owns most of rights in the Lord of the Rings universe when it comes to movies, video games, board games, merchandising, theme parks and stage productions.
