Current line-up:
So 70 "Premium Game Developments" can include stuff like DLC right? Because even with a ton of ports, there's no way they're releasing 70 different games even with everyone they have bought. I guess MAYBE you can count 70 if they're counting by individual platforms.
As one Cross-gen title would effectively be 6 games if it released on PS4, PS5, X1, XSX, PC, and Switch

This is the most B-tier list of games I've seen in years. Love it!
If you count individual platforms just for the games listed in the picture you already go over 70 though
Premium just means not f2p IIRC
This is what they released in 2020 alone, by the way. Seems like a frequently asked question here.
You mean non-F2P games, right? I'm pretty sure the terms originated from the mobile game market.
The picture wasn't there when I said 70. Does make me wonder how they're counting though. As it's 27 with that list.

Guess we're do for a lot of announcements soon then.
Most of the HandyGames developed games are not owned by Embracer, that's interesting. Looks like some of their developers can still develop for third parties.
And recent hits like Dyson Sphere Program or Valheim are also from them.
Could just be old deals, right? They only bought them in 2018.
I like that the platforms for it are uniquely listed as "To Be Confirmed". Either it's becoming an exclusive for some odd reason, or they literally can't even say with certainty that it'll be released this gen...
No, I understand it in the same way Square Enix has a "HD Games" category in its earnings. It's all games that target the core console/PC audience. Generally speaking yeah thoses games are not F2P.
From the CEO: "Our ambition is to continue growing the number of mergers and acquisitions, as our ecosystem expands with additional operative groups where transactions are initiated and made."
So their endgame is probably that of any company, grow and expand. I think they're more focused on the smaller gaming market right now, not big AAA productions.

Not entirely true, but their focus is most definitely the A and AA market.
Edit: Thought you meant no AAA productions at all but yeah the focus is the market below AAA-games
So they're blitzing with mid-ish budget games.
Those were doing fine outside of consoles but okay

There is a playable Teaser out there on Steam which they released Winter 2019. The premise was, that if that teaser was well received, they would build a team to remake the whole game.
The Teaser was played by a lot of people and got mainly positive reviews, with some things that are criticized by hardcore Gothic fans and the questionable Combat System. It was then deviced to fully commit to a Remake done by THQ Barcelona.
One of the lead producers is a huge OG Gothic Fan and a german guy that at least in some interviews comes off as a guy that knows what made Gothic special.
Here is the link btw:
Gothic Playable Teaser on Steam
The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by an implacable horde of orcs. King Rhobar II, in need of a large quantity of magical ore in order to forge powerful weapons, operates the Khorinis mines with all available prisoners.
Considering that they release a lot of smaller/mid tier stuff, it's possible for them to have 70 different games considering the amount of studios they own and things they publish. We had one of the biggest releases of the year already under their umbrella (Valheim)
Which are better than most actual premium games! Crazy!
Embracer just seems like the most corporate, most capitalist kind of company there is....
And if they genuinely have the 8chan management folks at the top....eugh.
A borg-like capitalist mercenary group that loves 8chan sounds entirely appropriate to be running a sizeable chunk of the gaming industry.

i am waiting for this one.. AA game from THQ same level as darksiders 2.. will preorder day 1 if they release one.

You are confusing Embracer (the parent and holding company) and THQ Nordic (the developer, which is only one of the subsidiaries). Also the 8chan stunt was the public relations and product development directors of the latter, not the leadership of Embracer. If anything, Lars Wingefors (the CEO of Embracer) offered a better apology than THQ Nordic itself did.
Also the most corporate and capitalist takeover is buying a company, extracting as much money as possible and then killing it off, which is what plenty of players are doing. Embracer keeps its aquisitions intact and pretty much never does any layoffs, so they are definitely better than plenty of other corporations on the gaming market in that regard (cough, EA or particularly Disney).

Nice that the AA-tier of games seem to get a nice revival from a publisher side of things (not only bigger indie titles).
Unfortunately, I am not really interested in most of their releases. Wonder if they can keep this up or whether they will go down like the original THQ.

Ok that's good to know and important to know!

I won't repeat/spread that 8chan stuff anymore. I hope thq Nordic sorted themselves out. Maybe they did if their real boss (embracer) told them to.
Knight of Honor 2, I am truely excited for it. The first on was good for that time, this one is being made by some of the ex-creative assembly developers.
Embracer Group is THQ Nordic under a new name after merging with another publisher.
They are still deserving of scorn.

at the time Embracer was just THQ Nordic AB and lars wingefors still let philipp brock / reinhard pollice stay on at THQ Nordic GmbH. so i'm not really seeing the redemption arc
