Metro series developer 4A Games will stay part of Embracer Group following Saber Interactive, the producer of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, declining to pursue its option to acquire the studio.
4A Games was one of the companies that Saber had the option to acquire when it split off from Embracer through Beacon Interactive, which is under the ownership of Saber co-founder Matthew Karch. Embracer declared that this is no longer taking place. Zen Studios, the Hungarian company behind Zen Pinball and Pinball FX, along with 4A Games will now stay at Embracer.
“We are happy with the closure of this acquisition and very glad to see the fantastic staff and assets of 4A Games and Zen Studios continue within Embracer,” said Lars Wingefors, the controversial co-founder and CEO of Embracer, in a statement. They will serve as crucial pillars for our ongoing expedition.
