Arc Games and Cryptic Studios managed to bail out of Embracer Group before getting axed like Volition and Free Radical Design. XD Inc. helped bankroll the buyout, and Arc is back to being an independent double-A publisher without any layoffs or restructuring drama. CEO Yoon Im said the company spent over 15 years under various owners, and going independent lets them actually work with devs they want instead of dealing with whatever mess Embracer was cooking up.
Arc has published the Remnant games, the Torchlight series, Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, and some other stuff like Have A Nice Death. The publisher is apparently gearing up for a big year ahead after dodging the Embracer meltdown that happened when their massive $2 billion deal collapsed.
