Emb🌟racer Group just published its , and as with most companies in the video games industry right now, Embracer made a boatload of cash. Net sales for the past fiscal year were up 102% to SEK 6,448.3 million, with most of Embracer's publishers (THQ Nordic, Deep Silver, Coffee Stain, and Saber Interactive) reporting increased profits.
Fourth-quarter results were particularly good for Embracer, with net sales increas♓ing by 119%. Coffee Stai♓n accounted for nearly half of that increase, and it was all thanks to a little Viking survival game that came out of nowhere.
"The quarter was driven by the release of Valheim, selling more than 6.8 mil🌊lion copies during the period,” wrote Embracer. “This truly amazing game continu🅘es to find new players globally and we expect another 1.0-1.2 million copies to be sold before the close of the current quarter ending June."
Valheim has been wildly successful ever since launching to Steam Early Access in February, climbing from 168澳洲幸运5开♏奖网:a million units in its first few days on sale to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:over five million in its first month, but it’s not the only game that Embracer noted in its fiscal report. Embracer's publishers also reported 2 million copies of SnowRunner sold, 2 million units of Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Re-Hydrated sold, and over a million units of the Destroy All Humans!🧸 remake.
Embracer expects that success to continue into the next fiscal year, too. Across all its development studios and publishers, the group has 160 projects in development, with two-thirds of them based on "new IPs or games based on IPs we plan to revitalize." The company has an ambitious plan to complete over 90 of those games before the end of March 2022, including games 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from Gearbox and Aspyr.
To top it all off, Embracer noted that Deep Silver has brought back beloved ♛TimeSplitꦺters developer Free Radical to create the first new TimeSplitters game since 2005. They've even managed to snag original studio founders Steve Ellis and David Doak for the p꧂roject.
Embracer’s next big success story might just be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Biomutant. Tune in next week to find out.
