Relevant bit mentioning DE development:
Quote:
A second unannounced IP in development at the studio (Eidos-Montréal, not SE Montréal) is said to have been reduced in scope, while a new entry in the Deus Ex series is reportedly in the "very, very early" stages. Additionally, Bloomberg says Eidos-Montréal will be partnering with Microsoft to help develop a number of titles, including Playground Games' Fable reboot, which hasn't been seen since its announcement in 2020.

Considering how they released DX:MD, very, very early stages could be 75% of the way through development Cool Face

Lmao, Embracer bought tomb raider, theif, Deus ex etc. off Square for $300 million. They just sold Tomb raider alone for $600 million to Amazon.

Awaiting squaresoft chapter 11.

Probably one of the most baffling cases of being a major player in the industry from back in the squaresoft days to... this. But don't worry, forspoken will probably sell 800 million copies and save them Laughing

Makes no sense, you sell a franchise with many successful entries (pretty sure the 3 rebooted games all made profit). Then there are the movie deals, a big enough franchise to have now had 4? mediocre licensed movies. Sold all that massively under market value, Embracers 600mil sale is effectively just giving them the IP + 300 million free.

Dump all western franchises.. AND MAKE that Forspoken POS to appeal to western gamers..



There was a rumoured Parasite Eve Reboot a few months back:

Turns out some NFT Garbage that no-one wants.
