We finally know all the details of Empracer Group's sale of Saber Interactive. The Swedish firm has announced that the company was sold for only $247 million, which is pretty far removed from the 500 million of the previous reports.
The buyout is being carried out by Beacon Interactive, a company headed Matthew karch, who is none other than the co-founder of Saber Interactive. Of course, the company will retain all the studios bearing its name, as well as other entities such as 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks, Sandbow Strategies, New World Interactive, Mad Head Games, DIGIC, Fractured Byte and Nimble Giant Entertainment.
Meanwhile, Embracer Group has managed to keep Aspyr, 4A Games (Metro), 34BigThings, Beamdog, Demiurge Studios, Shiver, Snapshot Games, Tripwire Interactive, Zen Studios and Tuxedo Labs.
Finally, Saber Interactive will get the opportunity to acquire 4A Games and Zen Studios after a specified period. However, should this move end up taking place, Embracer will retain the rights to the Metro IP.
