Gearbox, the U.S. game company behind the Borderlands series, is reportedly up for sale.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Reuters<\/a> reports Gearbox parent company Embracer is weighing up its options, one of which is a sale. Apparently Embracer has received interest from a number of third-parties. Neither Embracer nor Gearbox have issued comment.<\/p>\n

Embattled Embracer is currently undergoing a significant restructuring that has already seen the closure of Volition<\/a>, the long-running studio behind the Saints Row series.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Embracer announced it would start to close studios and cancel games<\/u><\/a> as a $2 billion deal reportedly with Saudi government funded company Savvy Games Group<\/u><\/a> fell through at the last moment.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Embracer Group had been on an acquisition spree over the past few years, including snapping up Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics<\/u><\/a> and Gearbox, among many others<\/u><\/a>. The February 2021 deal to acquire Gearbox valued the company at up to $1.4 billion. Borderlands spin-offs Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and New Tales from the Borderlands both came out last year. Gearbox published hit looter shooter Remnant 2 this year, and is down to publish Blackbird Interacrtive\u2019s sci-fi real-time strategy game Homeworld 3 at some point in 2024. Eli Roth’s Borderlands film<\/a> heads to theaters summer 2024.<\/p>\n
