Following layoffs and the sale of studios like Gearbox, Embracer Group has split itself into three separate entities to try to build success.
Earlier this week, Embracer announced it was no more, and instead Asmodee Group, Coffee Stain & Friends, and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends stand in its place.
Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends is comprised of Middle-Earth Enterprises alongside Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider), Dambuster Studios (Dead Island 2), Eidos Montreal (Deus Ex) and more… hence the “& Friends” moniker. Coffee Stain & Friends will group Coffee Stain, Ghost Ship, THQ Nordic, and more, and will be home to IP including Star Trek Online.
Finally, Asmodee will focus on tabletop game publishing and distribution.
“This move has been made with the intention to unleash the full potential of each team and provide them with their own leadership and strategic direction,” said Embracer head Lars Wingefors.
