If they end up anything like the latest Saint's Row (yes, Deep Silver is owned by Embracer), count me out.

Blame Volition and Deep Silver.
Embracer is like Microsoft in that they're pretty hands off with the studios (and in this case publisher) they acquire, at least if that results in a solid product.
They're both happy to just bankroll devs they have trust in and see what happens.

One concern I have is that Embracer Group seems to consistently only fund AA to lower budget AAA titles. However, I hope that company has more reasonable expectations for future Tomb Raider [and other newly acquired IPs] than Square Enix.

They are AA publishers but a lot of their games launch with bugs and glitches. AA is fine but make quality games please

I’m worried about Embracer pumping out mediocre and unpolished to semi-unpolished games. The company has acquired a lot of IPs that I’m fond of. So I hope Embracers quality standards improve in the near-future.

yes agreed in my humble opinion they have way too many valueable IP's but their talent hiring needs assessment. They hired so many first time in gaming industry devs to work on this new SR and it clearly shows

Gearbox isn't AA or low budget. Neither is Volition. They also own 4A Games who made Metro Exodus.

To be honest though, we don't actually get enough AA games. It's either indie or AAA. AA means a smaller budget, which means less strict risk management, which means more creativity and innovation. So if Embracer want to push more AA games I'd be happy with that.

Did the get the Gex IP?! I'd like a new game in that long lost series. A new Legacy of Kain proper would be nice too... Not just some remaster but a whole new game.

On a conference call right after Embracer bought these companies from SE the execs talked about remaking Gex and bringing out a new legacy of Kain, so they will happen.

Awesome! I always thought it was stupid for SE to have all that IP just wasting away. They did Tomb Raider justice but thats about it.

They are remaking Destroy all humans games...so i assume they will release a game for every IP they own.
