Beacon Interactive to acquire the selected assets of Saber Interactive from Embracer Group for $247m.

Beacon Interactive, a software development company, agreed to acquire the selected assets of Saber Interactive, a video game developer and publisher, from Embracer Group, a video game and media holding company, for $247m. “Over the past four years, I have been proud to be part of Embracer’s amazing transformation into one of the leading game companies in the world. As part of the company’s efforts to reorganize for a changed industry and geopolitical challenges, we jointly felt it was the right decision for both Embracer and the core of Saber to part ways. This divestment leaves both parties in much better positions to grow our respective businesses. I will continue to remain a large, long-term shareholder of Embracer and we will remain partners on several ongoing and future projects. This transaction also safeguards the livelihoods of hundreds of professionals, many of whom I have worked with for over two decades,” Matthew Karch, Beacon Interactive Director.
