Embracer has cancelled a Deus Ex game and laid off staff at Eidos Montreal - @jasonschreier
- Thread starter Jim Ryan
- Start date
I'm tired of hearing about Lars Wingefors and his idiots at Embracer acquiring a bunch of my favourite franchises and making sure they will never rise again.
Son of a bitch! Was really looking forward to this one.
Sony really needs to pick some some of these IPs. They'll be dirt cheap now. With how CP2077 "flopped" a new, good Deus Ex game under Sony would do wonders.

The only studio I wish ps had brought from square when they were ditching their western studios was Eidos. Deus ex and the legacy of kain franchises deserved to be revived and remakes and remasters would have been great. Those franchises also have great cross media potential as film or anime. Embracer is just god awful. This they cancel but they have money for that outcast crap no one asked for smh
Honestly Sqaure selling off their Western Branch to anyone but Sony was dumb. It's a shame what has transpired.
God fucking dammit. Deus Ex is one of my favourite franchises and to have it die under Embracer is the worst timeline. I'd trade a thousand Bethesdas and ABKs for the end to the new DE trilogy.
Nobody wanted Eidos or Crystal Dynamics, those two studios have been loss leaders for more than a decade.
It's what led Square-Enix to acquire them in the first place, they had no money left.
There's a reason the agreed price was only 300M.
The IP's they let get away tho. And Square always terrible management of them played a role. But fair enough
Embracer should just get the fuck out of the industry if they ain't going to do anything with all of this. Not even giving these studios a chance first under the new regime. Scummy as fuck.
