Swedish gaming giant buys creators of Tomb Raider and Avengers, Embracer Group has entered into an agreement to purchase the game studios Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal and Square Enix Montréal. The acquisition involves 300 million dollars (more than 284 million euros), the Swedish company announced on Monday.
Crystal Dynamics is the studio behind the game Marvel’s Avengers. Eidos Montréal is known for Thief 4, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, while Square Enix Montréal has worked on Hitman GO and Lara Croft GO, among others.
