[PC Gamer} It's a day ending in 'y' so you know what that means: Embracer Group is doing more restructuring
The press release also gives an idea of the dizzying scale Embracer is operating at. Fellowship Entertainment will have "approximately 6,000 employees across more than 30 countries" and will manage the commercial rights to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.Fellowship Entertainment consists of more than 40 studios like 4A Games, Aspyr Media, Crystal Dynamics, Dark Horse, Eidos-Montréal, Limited Run Games, Middle-earth Enterprises, Milestone, PLAION, Tarsier Studios, and THQ Nordic. It also controls more than 300 other properties including the likes of Kingdom Come Deliverance, Metro, Dead Island, Killing Floor, Darksiders, Remnant and Tomb Raider.

A note at the bottom of the press release says "the largest shareholder, Lars Wingefors AB, will, in connection with the name change to Fellowship Entertainment, establish a privately held holding company" named Embracer AB. It will have shares in Asmodee Group, Coffee Stain Group and Fellowship Entertainment, as well as "potentially other companies."Embracer's role within the industry over recent years was described in a GDC survey in 2024 as "buying up large swaths of an industry" and "creating redundancies and placing innovative, more 'exploratory' studios in a position where they’ll never be seen as profitable enough for shareholders." In an industry where layoffs and studio closures are sadly commonplace, Embracer has been responsible for a significant chunk."As a leader and an owner, sometimes you need to take the blame and you need to be humble about if you've made mistakes and if you could have done something differently," said Wingefors in 2024, adding he's "sure I deserve a lot of criticism." But you know what really matters?"I still feel I have the trust from many or all of my key entrepreneurs and CEOs that have joined the group," said Wingefors. "It's been difficult, but I think they all believed in the mission of Embracer."
