According to sources of The Hollywood Reporter there’s two new TOMB RAIDER projects by Amazon. One being live-action Tomb Raider tv series with Phoebe Waller-Bridge as a writer and exec producer. And the other project being a movie. Sources also indicates that Amazon want it to be MCU-like universe, meaning being connected with each other, including NETFLIX anime series and new game of the main series that is officially in development.

"Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the retail giant and streamer has teamed with Dmitri M. Johnson’s dj2 Entertainment for a massive rights deal to make a Tomb Raider feature film, in addition to the newly announced TV series from Phoebe Waller-Bridge and at least one video game in the Lara Croft franchise.

The idea is to build out a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and film all interconnected in a fashion akin to what Marvel has already accomplished. The Tomb Raider video game was announced in December, with additional games in the franchise considered likely.

One source with knowledge of the pact described it as being among the largest commitments at Amazon after Lord of the Rings."

As exciting as it is we want to remind to take those news with a pinch of salt, because no official statements were made by CRYSTAL DYNAMICS or Embracer Group (who’s holding rights to franchise).

While a positive plethora of news were had to commemorate Pokémon Day, there was nothing to celebrate about the layoffs continuing to plague the games industry.

They are, Asmodee Group,Coffee Stain & Friends, and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends. Each entity will be a separate, publicly listed company. The three groups have been described as: Asmodee – the…

I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP! I HATE THE EMBRACER GROUP!

Fair warning this is a long ranty post about Volition shutting down.

My heart goes out to the workers. I hope you find new jobs that give you as much if not more joy that working for Volition, thank you for all your work. Even when I didn’t like it, I appreciated the passion you put into everything you did.

However the big bosses Embracer Group can suck my tinee tiny slavic cock. They did this on the last of the month and from what I am hearing that mean non of the now ex-workers have health insurance now. Health care is a fucking human right and giving them basically a day of notice they won’t have it isn’t morally bankrupt it should be fucking criminal.

Now I have that out of the way, what even they hell. Why did they even buy them? Most likely a tax write off. A 30 year old studio, a studio full of passionate people who genuinely loved Volition and dedicated their lives to it, a studio who made so much iconic shit, gone overnight. They would have known Volition had been suffering financially when they bought them. If they didn’t want to help them prosper, why even buy them? They had so much potential.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate Deep Silver too, I have since I was a teen. However at least Deep Silver didn’t buy them just to shut them down and try to bury it under all the Starfeild shit. At least Deep Silver has some level of decency.

And no it wasn’t the Reboot alone that made them suffer for all the salty fucks, it probaly didn’t help it got a poor reception but the bed was already laid as far as the financial health stood. I have known since the mid to late 10s V was suffering financially. AOM was a flop money wise for a start, so not, it is not the Reboots fault.

Also can I say with the sincerity of my heart all the people celebrating the mass loss of jobs, I hope you also lose your job and health insurance overnight, it is one of the worst things that can happen to someone and you are taking joy in it? I hope you taste the humble pie one day so you can learn to be more kind.

You won’t get your precious SR2 patch now. It fucking sucks, I wanted it too, don’t get my wrong. But all these OG fans celebrating don’t seem to realise that. You give OG fans a bad fucking name and I am ashamed to share that title with you. I understand not liking V, but celebrating the closer when so many people just lost everything, just wow. That says more about you than anything else could.

As the the future of Saints Row, who knows? DS own it but with the original guys working on it I don’t have much hope and I definitely will not pre-order like I did with Volition. I am just gonna assume SR is well and truly dead for now until I hear otherwise. Hopefully DS hires some of the old guys or something if they work on another SR.

Even with all their fault I fucking loved Volition. You can’t say they didn’t try and they genuinely did love everything they did. Including SR4 that I hated but damn they loved it so who cares. This industry is becoming so cold and corporatised and now we have lost another studio who was not that. It is truly sad.

These massive gaming monopolies are toxic to the industry. Even when I benefit from it with XBStudio, I can’t help but think this is so wrong and how much this will harm gaming in the long run and this is just another sad sentence in that book. It needs to stop. Even if it means game pass might start to suck, its a price I will pay, fuck these big gaming monoplies.

This is a sad day and I am so sad and worried for all those who lost their jobs. I will miss you Volition. You were truly a G of a studio.

I am gonna end this with a good spirited joke me and my friend made before the reboot as excitement for it grew. We really did enjoy that game, even with its faults, the Saints Row series brings me so much joy, so thank you for it. It saved me more times than you could ever know. I have been playing it since 2006 when I was a kid. Now the joke:

‘If you don’t buy the Reboot, Jim Boone will stand at the end of your bed every night with the penetrator and chant buy Saints Row until you do.’ XD

Again, this joke was a good spirited one, we both wanted to play the reboot and I had already pre-ordered it at that point.

If I was to ever offer advice to Embracer in these trying times, it would be this. You want profit, yes? Then you need product.

The studios under your umbrella need to create and release games! Cancelling projects and closing studios might save money in the short term, but without a revenue stream coming from finished and released products, you are going only one way… down.

I shouldn’t have to offer business advice to a goddamn investment group. The above seems like a no-brainer to me, but here we are.

[advictoriams]

Fuck Embracer Group actually

[megafreeman]

Actually insane how Embracer Group came out of no where and started buying hunrdeds of video game studios around the world, primarily small (practically indie) devs, and then after 5 years of going on a massive buying spree decided to announce "whoopsie we brought to many, and we'll shut down some of yall and lay off all the staff if we don't think your current project is profitable enough <3". Monopolies are truly the plague on this earth
