With 25 AAA games in development, Embracer to add 37 more studios

During its financial presentation for Q2 2021/2022, Embracer Group announced it has 25 AAA games due out in the next five years.  “Currently we have a pipeline that consists of 25 AAA games for premium PC and console,” Embracer Group chief executive Lars Wingefors announced. “They all have notable or significant marketing budgets and are expected to become multi-million unit sellers. Each game will have at least 100 game developers at peak, but normally a lot more — up to 250.”

With developers and publishers that include Koch Media, THQ Nordic and Gearbox Software under its umbrella, Embracer Group is preparing for a busy few years. Releasing 25 AAA games sounds like a lot, but compared to its works in development, that isn’t such a big number.
