Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Embracer Group, the parent of Milestone (SBK 22, MotoGP 23, Monster Energy Supercross 6, etc), Plaion (publishing wing behind many titles), Saber Interactive (SnowRunner, Dakar Desert Rally, etc) issued 80,000 new shares this week and raised $182 million according to a recent article by gamesindustry.biz.
The parent company is deeply involved with a massive amount of projects past, present and future so it’s quite concerning when a company of this size appears to have stumbled financially. Embracer are targeting a net debt of $729 million by the end of the current financial year.
