Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about.

There’s no secret that Embracer have been trying to figure out their finances for a while. In the meantime, one of their healthiest developers (for driving games, at least) figured out a way to free itself from the situation by securing $500m in funding from investors and effectively buying itself back from Embracer Group.
My understanding here is that Saber Interactive now becomes a privately-held company, free of stock holder influence, and that both SnowRunner and Expeditions: A MudRunner Game are safe. I’m yet to see evidence that Saber Porto, formerly known as Bigmoon Entertainment, were a part of the deal. I hope so, though, as that would mean the Dakar franchise is also safely moved elsewhere.
