Embracer Group $EMBRAC-B.ST, owner of iconic franchises such as Tomb Raider, announced on Thursday that it continues to depend heavily on its extensive back catalog to sustain cash flow amid a noticeable decline in new AAA game releases. According to CEO Lars Wingefors, this reliance does not signal a permanent strategic shift but rather reflects broader industry dynamics where the cost, risk, and development time for major titles are increasing substantially. Similar market trends are observed in Ubisoft $UBI.PA, which recently released its delayed Assassin’s Creed title on Steam with favorable reviews, adopting a cautious approach to game launches.
