Gearbox is reportedly the latest studio to be affected by Embracer Group’s restructuring efforts.
In June, Embracer announced a “comprehensive restructuring programme” to help recover from its large spending spree over recent years and a 40 percent drop in share price following a report of a failed “major strategic partnership” with Savvy Games Group, which is backed by the Saudi Arabian government.
As part of the restructuring, Saints Row developer Volition Games was shut down “effective immediately” at the end of last month. A new report from Reuters claims that Borderlands developer Gearbox will be one of the next studios Embracer sheds.
