In the latest financial report for the second quarter of 2022/23, the Swedish holding Embracer Group, which acquired Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal and Square Enix Montréal in the summer, published interesting data about its products. Particular attention should be paid to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here's What We Know
On October 26, the game celebrated its first anniversary. During this time, more than 8 million players have played it. However, sales of the game are not announced.
Recall that Square Enix in early 2022 stated that sales of the game did not meet their expectations. Although critics and players appreciated the game and most of them liked it. For example, the game has 80 points out of 100 on Metacritic.
