Maybe we'll see another Deus Ex game after all.

I just hope they treat the PC ports better than Square did... The amount of bugs and issues on PC releases of Square games that were never patched even years after the release is mindblowing.

300 million? That's a absolute steal Square must be in some real trouble, This is the kind of moves AMD would make during the mid 2010's.

Yeah, this is unusual. Tomb Raider alone should be worth more than that. At that price, I'm surprised that Sony or Microsoft didn't buy these.

Im not to familiar with Embracer group, but they not being Square enix helps!

I am still waiting for Legacy of Kain to continue.

shockingly cheap for tomb raider as others said, actually suprised SE let these go.

I'd say this is a good thing considering the Embracer Group are THQ Nordic who has a lot of great IP's, Square Enix only really focuses on Final Fantasy and has let so many good IP's go to waste like Deus Ex, Thief, Legacy of Kain etc... considering how popular cyberpunk styles games and vampire games are the LoK series and Deus Ex series should've had multiple games out in the last few years.

Probably a good deal.

Though I don't think they are planning Blockchain in games. They seem to be transitioning to more of an all in one provider (AI/Cloud) and using their Japanese IP game library to leverage future technology they are developing.

That's how it comes off to me.

That's a real option now. These guys don't sit idly on their purchases.
