Its subsidiaries are expected to include Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Warhorse Studios, 4A Games, Dambuster Studios, and Middle-earth Enterprises. The remaining Embracer entity will retain THQ Nordic, PLAION, Aspyr, Milestone, and Limited Run Games, along with IPs such as Titan Quest, Destroy All Humans!, Killing Floor, Gothic, Wreckfest, and Arizona Sunshine. The split aims to clarify management focus and accountability, according to Chairman Lars Wingefors and CEO Phil Rogers.
