Embracer Group has announced that it will acquire Crystal Power, Eidos Montreal and SE Montreal studios for $300 million. Since the news was announced, many people have been speculating about the future of these acquired studios. At a recent Investor Q&A session with the Exbracer Group, the company's CEO, Lars Wingefors, answered.
Wingefors said: "Obviously, we are very excited about the new Tomb Raider game. But not only Tomb Raider, but also a lot of very large AAA new games are also in development, these games include both the player's favorite old IP, but also the new original IP, which will be a very interesting game lineup. ”
Wingefors continues: "In two years, our game lineup will be a little richer, and in the next few years, there may not be so many big new games coming out, but after that, these studios will launch some amazing works." ”
At the same meeting, David Anfossi, head of Eidos Montreal Studios, also confirmed that the studio was working on several games, all based on Unreal Engine 5. Fans of Deus Ex are undoubtedly very eager to see a new game in the series, and It is reported that Empire is also eager to tap into the potential of the series. But in any case, it doesn't look like we'll hear about these new works anytime soon.
