Embracer Group's Restructuring Leads to Layoffs at New World Interactive

Despite Rumors, Studio Remains Open with Continued Development on Insurgency: Sandstorm and Unannounced Projects

Embracer Group continues its restructuring plan with layoffs at New World Interactive, the developer behind the Insurgency series.
Although initial reports suggested the studio had been closed, Embracer subsidiary Saber Interactive confirmed that wasn't the case but did not disclose the number of layoffs.
Embracer is working to fill existing roles within the company with impacted staff and assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm and unannounced future projects.
Over 900 staff have lost their jobs in what the company describes as an 'agonizing' but 'necessary' process.
Embracer's restructuring follows the collapse of a $2 billion investment deal earlier this year and has resulted in widespread layoffs and studio closures.
