Publisher Arc Games announced today that it has reached an agreement with Embracer Group to complete a buyout of itself from the Swedish gaming conglomerate, establishing itself as an independent publisher. Arc Games will keep its existing organizational structure and leadership, including CEO Yoon Im, who said the team is excited for the next chapter in a prepared statement:
“This milestone marks a major new chapter for Arc Games,” said Yoon Im, CEO of Arc Games. “We appreciate our time being part of Embracer Group and the accomplishments achieved since the company’s inception over 15 years ago. These experiences have shaped who we are today. As an independent publisher, we are now positioned to more fully pursue our vision—collaborating with exceptional developers worldwide and bringing standout games to market. 2026 is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and innovative years in our history, and we are excited for what lies ahead.”
Arc Games is known for publishing AA and indie games on PC and consoles such as Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, the Remnant series, the Torchlight series, and most recently, Fellowship, some of which were published under their old name – Perfect World Entertainment. Arc Games now turns to the future, with new unannounced games on the horizon and a call for new partnerships with developers looking to bring their game to market. Let’s keep an eye on their future endeavors.
