Despite rumours to the contrary, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. says the Mortal Kombat and Lego games developers aren't for sale.
Embracer Group plans to release 70 game projects before March 31, 2025, with three "important unannounced titles" included in the release.
They may not have a plan to exit gaming. But give it time they will eventually sell off everything and fade away into nothing.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

It always sounded weird that WB would sell Netherrealm. Mortal Kombat and their other games print money. The movie was a big hit for HBO Max and they said as much, and are planning more. Even if they kept the IP, they would have still been getting rid of the creator and studio that makes the games. Nothing about selling NRS made any sense.
