Rumours circulating last year that Borderlands creator Gearbox Studios is to be sold appear to have sprouted fruit. This would mark its exit from the shadow of the proverbial colossus Embracer Group, which has been having an, ah, interesting year and a bit to say the least.
Embracer Group gobbled up a lot of studios during its 2020-era spending spree, but perhaps the biggest acquisitions were Saber Interactive (World War Z, many, many ports) and Gearbox Software (Borderlands). It’s clear Embracer had big plans for Saber and Gearbox, as both were spun into entire company divisions with other smaller studios reporting to them, but those plans have changed – Embracer’s fortunes took a turn when a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia fell through and the company has been desperately cutting costs since. Apparently, this means two of their crown jewels have to go.
Following reports last year that Embracer Group was considering selling Borderlands studio Gearbox as part of its ongoing «comprehensive restructuring programme», it's now being claimed a sale to a third party is in the «late stages» of being finalised.
Gearbox could be “closer than ever” to being sold off by its parent company Embracer Group, according to a new report.
Gearbox may be the next to escape Embracer Group as the massive company continues to hemorrhage staff and studios as part of a restructuring effort sparked by a $2 billion deal that fell through last year.
Gearbox's founder has seemingly teased an unannounced Borderlands game, and some fans think a reveal is right around the corner.
Borderlands 4 may have been teased by Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford, who sent a tantalizing hint about what could be the next big project for the studio. Pitchford hinted at a mysterious endeavor that he believes could surpass anything Gearbox has done before, and fans are speculating about the long rumored Borderlands 4.
