Gearbox itself is made upღ of several different studios at this point. There is Gearbox Software in Texas, but also Gearbox Studio Quebec, Montreal, Cryptic Studios, and the recently acquired .

Gears are turning

There are a few games being published by Gearbox at the moment, including Homeworld 3 and Hyper Light Breaker. But what these projects might be is a bit nebulous. AAA is a general concept, so it could honestly range all over the place. Gearbox did announce that a new Tales From the Borderlands is on the way, so that’s a possibility.

In other Gearbox areas, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is not the only recent launch.  rolled out not too long ago, and the excellent roguelike survival shooter Risk of Rain 2 also released its Survivors of the Void expansion. With Lost Boys now under the umbrella too, it looks like a lot is in the works for Gearboꦅx.

Embracer in general has been expanding, too. The massive group recently picked up several studios from Square Enix, bringing Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal into the Embracer fold. The report indicates it plans on using the properties obtained through that deal; Embracer says it sees “a great potential” in not just sequels, but remakes, remasters, spinoffs, and transmedia projects. It’s not done yet, but Embracer expects the deal to close sometime between July and September.
