It’s been a few minutes since Embracer Group was in the headlines for (mostly bad) reasons, so this Monday morning they’ve decided to change that. Fortunately, this time around we’re not talking about financial disasters or, thankfully, lay-offs, instead that the company is splitting up into three new, completely separate entities.

There’s a lot of business talk involved in the announcement, which I’ll mostly skip over. The short version is that the three companies will all group up similar studios and IP, and each will be listed individually on the Stockholm stock exchange.

Here’s how what’s left of Embracer Group will be split up:

At first glance, this does seem to be a positive move, though. Each of the newly created entities will be operating independently of each other, which, in theory, should make life a little easier when it comes to making games, and making money. Embracer Group was a messy organization, to say the least.

This all comes after the most recent big news out of the company, that being thesale of one of its prized possessions, Gearbox, to Take-Two Interactivefor much less than they paid for it in the first instance.

From a gamer’s perspective, let’s hope that things settle now, and these great studios are allowed to get on with what they do best. And of course, we hope that everyone working there is afforded some kind of job security in doing so.
