Saber COO confirms three of its major releases are still in development following acquisition
Following the announcement that Saber Interactive had been sold by Embracer Group, the company's COO has confirmed that Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park: Survival are still in development.
The details:
Yesterday, it was confirmed that Saber had been acquired by a group of private investors for $247 million, raising concerns about the future of its upcoming projects and development teams.
In a post on X, COO Tim Willits confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park: Survival are all still in active development, with the team behind the games believed to remain unchanged. “I have received a lot of questions concerning the status of some of our previously announced projects now that Saber has separated from Embracer,” Willits wrote. “I’m happy to confirm we’re still working on a number of titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park: Survival.”
Space Marine 2 has already been significantly delayed, with its original release window of Winter 2023 pushed back to September 2024 in November. Toxic Commando, a co-op shooter, is set to release later this year, while Jurassic Park: Survival, a single-player action-adventure title, has yet to receive a release window.
