Earlier today, video game company Saber Interactive has confirmed their split with the Embracer Group as part of an acquisition deal of $275 million to Beacon Interactive. Now, for those wondering whether this changes any of Saber’s on-going projects, thankfully, that’s not the case.
Over on Twitter/X, Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer (COO) of Saber Interactive, confirmed that the company is still developing Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park: Survival.
I have received a lot of questions concerning the status of some of our previously announced projects now that Saber has separated from Embracer. I'm happy to confirm we're still working on a number of titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter's Toxic… pic.twitter.com/s063LxKz0X

This is definitely good news for those looking forward to those games. I know I’m excited to see Space Marine 2 be released. Speaking of which, that game has been delayed to the second half of 2024, and I’m hoping that it doesn’t get another delay.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is also another game slated to be released this year, though we haven’t heard much from it. As for Jurassic Park: Survival, there is no release window tied to it yet, but it is confirmed to be launching on current-gen consoles and PC.
Saber’s confirmation of in-development projects is comforting, especially given the left and right studio closures and layoffs happening around the video game industry.
Here’s to hoping for better days ahead for Saber Interactive and their projects.
