The failure of Alone in the Dark (2024) and the success of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered: Embracer Group Holding reported which projects met expectations and which did not bring the desired result
Swedish holding company Embracer Group has published a fresh financial report, in which it not only reported about The head of Crystal Dynamics and Eidos studios will take a senior position in the management of Embracer Group: the Swedish holding company announced the completion of the restructuring of the business and its business indicators, but also shared the sales results of recent releases.
Here's What We Know
Embracer Group's divisions have not released many games in the last few months and unfortunately, most of them were not very warmly welcomed by the public, which affected their sales as well.
The re-launch of Alone in the Dark (2024), which Embracer had high hopes for and actively advertised, did not justify the resources spent. The game received low marks from critics, was not understood by the public and sold poorly.
The same situation with the action-adventure Outcast - A New Beginning - the game turned out to be average and shabby against the background of other releases of the season.
On the other hand, Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection and South Park: Snow Day!, although they received low marks and were criticised, but in general "met expectations". But it seems that expectations were pretty low.
The Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection, on the other hand, was positively received by the public, is very popular and its sales "exceeded the expectations of the Embracer Group management".
The exact number of sales of all mentioned games is not disclosed, but we remind that zombie action game Dead Island 2 was well received by both the public and gamers, and for the year There will soon be no room left on the "dead island": the total number of copies of Dead Island 2 sold is 3 million.
Embracer Group Studios has a number of big releases planned for the nearest period, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Killing Floor 3, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Hyper Light Breaker, Gothic remake, Titan Quest 2. Hopefully, these games will be warmly welcomed by the public and rectify the company's difficult financial situation.
