Embracer plans a third consecutive year of splitting into separate entities, creating Embracer and Fellowship Entertainment. The spin-off aims to increase management focus to capture the full joint potential of IPs, their communities, and top game developers. Fellowship Entertainment will hold major franchises including The Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider, Metro, Dead Island, Deus Ex, Time Splitters, Thief, and Legacy of Kain, along with their studios.

"Fellowship Entertainment will get The Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider, Metro, Dead Island, Deus Ex, Time Splitters, Thief, Legacy of Kain, and other franchises, along with their respective studios. Embracer will keep Destroy All Humans, Desperados, Gothic, Killing Floor, Kingdom of Amalur, Wreckfest, and a"
