Embracer Group Shuts Down Alone in the Dark Developer Pieces Interactive
The studio closure follows disappointing sales and mixed reviews of their latest game, part of a broader restructuring effort by Embracer.
- Pieces Interactive, founded in 2007, was acquired by Embracer in 2017.
- The studio's most recent release, Alone in the Dark, received a mixed critical reception and failed to meet sales expectations.
- Embracer's restructuring has led to the closure of several studios and layoffs of over 1,000 employees.
- The company has split into three separate entities in an effort to stabilize its operations.
- Pieces Interactive had previously worked on titles like Magicka 2 and Titan Quest expansions.
