Swedish holding company Embracer Group has announced plans to split its business into two independent publicly traded companies. As part of the restructuring, some of its biggest gaming intellectual properties, including Tomb Raider and The Lord of the Rings, will be transferred under the management of the newly formed Fellowship Entertainment.
The launch of Fellowship Entertainment is planned for 2027. The company will operate as an IP-focused entertainment business with a centralized strategy centered on game development, publishing, and licensing.
The parent company Embracer Group will continue operating as a decentralized organization with separate strategies for its different business segments. According to management, the split will provide Embracer with greater flexibility for mergers and acquisitions, while Fellowship will be able to fully focus on expanding its studios and publishing operations.
