Saber Interactive will stay on SnowRunner after Embracer’s embrace

One of Europe’s fastest-growing video game companies is even bigger today. Embracer, which is the parent of publisher THQ Nordic, acquired World War Z developer Saber Interactive in a $525 million deal today. This puts Saber’s staff of nearly 600 under the Embracer umbrella. But the studio is also bringing along an existing deal with Focus Home Interactive to develop the off-road hauling simulator SnowRunner. And Saber has confirmed to GamesBeat that it will continue work on that game as planned.

Yesterday, February 18, Focus Home and Saber announced SnowRunner is launching April 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. SnowRunner is the followup to the cult hit Spintires. Saber worked on the updated version of that game that launched in 2017 under the name Spintires: MudRunner.
