Upcoming games set in Middle-earth and involving one Lara Croft have a new parent company, alongside a wealth of other series. Embracer, the conglomerate that owns several major publishers, including Plaion and THQ Nordic, has announced a wing dedicated to overseeing a selection of the biggest IP, and to foster further growth in others.
The enterprise is called Fellowship Entertainment, and Embracer's founder and chair Lars Wingefors announced the move in an open letter to shareholders. "The main rationale to spin-off Fellowship is to increase management focus to capture the full joint potential of the IPs, their respective communities and some of the best game developers in the world," he writes.
