Volition recently celebrated its 30th birthday, with a very nice CV. The studio created the franchises Red Faction, Summon And Saints Rowthe latter was also entitled to a reboot Last year. The studio, initially independent, passed into the hands of THQThen Koch Mediafirst under the tutelage of Deep Silver then more recently Gearbox Entertainmenttwo publishers belonging to Embrace Group.
But the Swedish giant is no joke, the last two games of Volition (Agents of Mayhem And Saints Row) did not appeal to players, and the studio will close its doors todayas he announces in a statement :
The Volition team has been proudly creating world-class entertainment for fans around the world for 30 years. We have been driven by a passion for our community and have always worked to deliver joy, surprise and fun.
Last June, Embracer Group announced a restructuring program aimed at strengthening Embracer and maintaining its leading position in the video game industry. As part of this program, they assessed strategic and operational objectives and made the difficult decision to close Volition with immediate effect.
To help our team, we strive to provide employment assistance and ease of transition for members of our Volition family. We thank our customers and fans around the world for all their love and support over the years. You will always be in our hearts.
As a reminder, his last game is Saints Row (2022)a rather average title but which was entitled to several additional contents, the last A Song Of Ice & Dust DLC was released at the beginning of the month, and the game will be offered next month to subscribers Playstation Plus. It’s a page that is still turning in the industry, and even if the studio has not shone in recent years, the first ones Saints Row And Red Faction will have marked many players at the time.
