• Embracer confirms selling part of #Saber Interactive to the company's co-founder Matthew Karch (using his company Beacon Interactive).

    Direct effects are:

    -The retirement of Saber Russia operations.

    -Saber will keep studios Nimble Giant (Star Trek Infinite), 3D Realms (Ion Fury), Sandbox Strategies, New World Interactive (Insurgency), Slipgate Ironworks (Graven), Mad Head Games (Scars Above), Fractured Byte (Borderlands Legendary Collection and Digic.

    -Embracer will retain Tripwire (Chivalry), Beamdog (Mythforce), Tuxedo Labs (Teardown), Demiurge, Shiver (Lucius), Aspyr (Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection), Snapshot Games (Phoenix Point) and 34BigtThings (Redout).

    -Beacon will look an option to acquire 4A Games (Metro) and Zen Studios (Pinball)

    For weeks, it has been suggested that Saber Interactive was the latest of the collateral of Embracer Group failed mid-2023 multi-million gaming project that still to this day, full details haven't emerged of what could have been & that made a dent in all current & future projects.

    It is heavily suggested that a joint venture with a gaming company, Embracer and a interest from Saudi Arabia went sour at the very last minute (a day before closure of a financial quarter).

  • Unfortunately for Sony this week, Rhysida hacker group went on their deadline after only 2% of the stolen data on their hack to #Playstation Studios' Insomniac Games was actually sold and the remaining 98% was released on the Dark Web.

    The loot is actually more than 1.3 million files totaling 1.67 terabytes and includes much more than anticipated than a swift hacking usually manages to copy.

    As expected in this kind of big stole, future games, and internal HR documents, budgets, more are in the public yes and as well Insomniac’s future projects, including the upcoming Marvel Wolverine game, a publishing agreement with Marvel that promises future games.

    Of course, the "promised games" is on the stipulation that Sony and Playstation needs to comply with goals set by both Disney and Marvel and maybe isn't just that Sony has strategically held the movies and videogames rights for Spider-man.

    Along with Wolverine, seems that Sony is ready to answer EA's take on Marvel Iron Man and now Bethesda/Xbox Game Studios's take on Marvel Blade as Insomniac landed a exclusive X-Men game, pending to be announced.

    As for more Marvel games, the Venom game is slated for a 2025 release, followed by a 2026 release of Wolverine and early estimate for X-Men is at 2030, which probably might see Iron Man and Blade being in this 7 years interval.

    Other documents reveals that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was not a total financial success despite being the flagship game for the launch of PS5 with a miss of 10% below Return Of Investment or in plain language, the game was not profitable at least in normal sales channel.
    A follow-up Ratchet & Clank main game is currently in development with a target release year of 2029.

    Finally and honestly I wasn't expecting anything centralized on the Playstation business and much-less being housed on one of Playstation Studios's servers but, here is the bad luck for Sony.

    Apparently, Insomniac Games had probably copies of documents that appears to be for Sony Interactive Entertainment to actually hold and there was a report on Steam sales of Playstation games brought to PC.

    Numbers includes:
    -Horizon Zero Dawn - 3.3 million units
    -God of War 2018 - 2.5 million units
    - Days Gone - 1.7 million units
    -Marvel Spider-Man Remastered 1.3 million units
    -Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves 483k units
    -Marvel Spider-Man: Miles Morales 450k units
    -Sackboy A big adventure - 62.9k units

    Surprisingly, there are documents related to the Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft and as excepted, concentrate on the Call Of Duty side of thing including the fear that Microsoft could find ways to differentiate Xbox and Playstation versions of COD.

    Game Pass subscription and the public perception that Xbox has indeed "lost the console war" as a way to transform the gaming business in one that could have Playstation left behind because their premium sale model and pro hardware model as subs are more feasible for gamers

    The insistence that the Playstation model is outdated is because Sony feels that Activision Blizzard gives Microsoft strategic value in live service, mobile and PC Storefront and Microsoft can supply, console, PC and subscription services.

    Reminder, currently the main tasks that Activision Blizzard is working along side Xbox is the new Mobile game app store, reportedly being made from the best of Battle Net & Microsoft Store with King leading the project, which Microsoft has said was the main reason to buy ABK.

    And with this recap....

    BE CAREFUL, Wolverine's leaks apparently are in the wild and there is a PROBABILITY of seeing videos of an early version BOOTABLE of the game as well pics and assets for the game.

    I am not spoiling anything after this post.

  • While nothing is official and as of the posting of this is just a STRONG RUMOR, Embracer Group might be listening to offers by partners to sell off #GearboxSoftware.

    Embracer has been on a financial bleed after a failed multi-billion deal went off rails.

  • A day after it was confirmed that Saint Rows remake will headline PS Plus Essential offering, #VolitionGames confirmed that it will close its doors as part of parent company Embracer Group restructuring.

    Some are not surprised due to the game's performance.

  • Lapsus$ member & hacker behind the 2022 #GTA6 leaks, Arion Kurtaj, was found guilty on launching cyberattacks on Rockstar Games, Uber & Nvidia after court accepted that he could not be judged with criminal intent since he has autism.

    The Lapsus$ hacking group introduced themselves in the cybersecurity community after successfully landing ransomware/hacking last year, which forced many companies to do BIG reevaluations.

    Members average from late teens to early adults (very common in the past actually).

    While many members were already arrested in the UK & Brazil, in Kurtaj case, this is the 3rd time being busted and by the first 2 times, he was already banned from having Internet access.

    Apparently his latest stint was done via a modified Amazon Stick, a Tablet & a Smartphone.
