Unlike its eastern divisions, the western studios of Square Enix were not performing well enough financially over the past few years. It was probably the epic failure of Marvel’s Avengers that totally disappointed Square Enix from getting anything big from its western division.
Regarding how popular the Avengers superheroes are in the world, Square Enix was surely considering to gain big profit from Marvel’s Avengers, however, things didn’t go well enough and the game couldn’t even return its production costs in the first months of launch.
That being said, the Guardians of the Galaxy game by Eidos was an unexpected hit for Square Enix, but probably not big enough to change the CEO’s decision on selling the western studios.
Embracer Group today announced that they will be acquiring Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal studios for $300 million, along with many IP rights that we have listed down below.
