That kind of success isn't easily accomplished, though. At last check, the 2018 God of War sold nearly 20 million copies on PlayStation alone, and now it's on Steam, too. The North American triple-A tradition (games which involve squeezing through narrow cave passages and ventilation ducts) is far from dead. Square Enix said it outright: It's going to use cash from this sale to invest in "fields including blockchain, AI, and the cloud."Įmbracer may be right.
BEST SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER IMAGE SERIES
* $375 million is contingent on "completion of certain projects" and other conditionsĮmbracer Group's big bet seems to be that the rest of the industry is so focused on trying to invent money that only works online and trap everyone in virtual Disneylands that developers like Crystal Dynamics and series like Tomb Raider are being undervalued. Original and licensed games such as Spintires: Mudrunner and World War Z and a ton of porting and co-development credits, including for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. What they got: 780 employees across five internal studios and three external studios, with 12 upcoming games.
Embracer also paid an undisclosed amount to buy the other 70% of Ghost Ship Games. What they got: Goat Simulator, Satisfactory, a publishing wing (that went on to publish Valheim), 30% of Deep Rock Galactic developer Ghost Ship Games. What they got: Eight external studios, publisher and developer Deep Silver (Saints Row, Dead Island, publisher of the Metro series) and its three internal studios, a physical game publishing business, and a film distribution business 1,181 employees. Some of Embracer's other recent acquisitions (It's also worth noting: $1.01 billion of that purchase is dependent on financial targets being met, "completion of certain projects," and other conditions.) Randy Pitchford's probably got gold bars buried under the office or something, too.
BEST SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER IMAGE MOVIE
Borderlands 3 is at over 15 million, and then there are the spinoffs, and Gearbox's publishing business, and the movie it's making, and its own back catalogue. I've seen a couple aghast comparisons between the $300 million spent on Lara Croft and Adam Jensen and the $1.3 billion spent on Gearbox, but Borderlands 2 alone has sold over 26 million copies. Embracer Group says that the combined sales of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided come to over 12 million units, while the three Tomb Raider games from Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal account for 38 million sales. Regarding the biggest properties Embracer Group will actually own after the sale, Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, we now have some of the numbers Square Enix was disappointed about.
