Helsvenska speljätten Embracer (THQ Nordic) fortsätter att köpa upp utvecklare i rasande takt och deras senaste köp innefattar inga mindre än de tidigare Square-ägda spelhusen Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal och Square Enix Montreal som ligger bakom spelserier som Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Legacy Kain och cirka 50 andra spelserier. Alla de är nu härmed svenska, vilka hamnar under samma paraply som Embracer-ägda serierna Darksiders, Timesplitters, Metro, Saints Row, Wreckfest, MXGP, Valheim, System Shock, Shadow Warrior, Evil Dead, Homefront, Insurgency, Little Nightmares och många, många fler.
