Embracer Group has shared details about the sales performance of some of its latest games. According to the company, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor sold well on all platforms, and they exceeded Embracer’s expectations.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered was a great remastered collection of the classic TR games. The remasters performed well on launch day, and the collection has Very Positive Reviews on Steam. Embracer claimed that the collection performed above management expectations.
Similarly, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has Very Positive Reviews on Steam and it exceeded Embracer’s expectations. For those unaware, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a single player survivor-like auto-shooter.
On the other hand, the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection had major issues when it launched. Even to this day, PC gamers are not happy with its state. The collection has Mostly Negative Reviews overall on Steam (and Overwhelming Negative Recent Reviews). Despite that, though, Embracer stated that it performed in line with management expectations.
Similarly, Lightyear Frontier performed within Embracer’s expectations. Lightyear Frontier is a peaceful open-world farming adventure that is available in Early Access. The game also currently has Very Positive Reviews on Steam.
The games that underperformed for Embracer were Alone in the Dark Remake and Outcast: A New Beginning. While both of these games have positive reviews on Steam, they failed to meet Embracer’s expectations. In short, they were commercial flops. That’s kind of a bummer as there was a lot of potential for the new Outcast game. Despite that, though, it launched with both technical and gameplay issues.
My guess is that we won’t see another Alone in the Dark or Outcast game in the foreseeable future. As both of these games flopped, Embracer will most likely put them on ice.
