In late 2021, long-standing MMO publisher Perfect World Entertainment was bought out by Gearbox parent company Embracer. PWE has now revealed its new name: Gearbox Publishing. For the most part, nothing is changing and Gearbox Publishing will continue to publish its stable of MMOs.
The press announcement said:
We’re incredibly excited to announce that we are now Gearbox Publishing! Early in 2022, we were presented with a great opportunity to expand our horizons and extend our reach in the video game world. Our goal has always been to publish high-quality games that create lasting impressions, and Embracer Group has stepped up to help achieve this vision. Within Embracer, we’ve been placed in the loving care of the Gearbox Publishing wing of games, and we couldn’t be happier to join their family.
Rest assured, we’re the same dedicated team of gamers working on the same titles we had before. Despite the name change, our organization, employees, products, and passion remain – just with a new makeover. We’ll continue releasing content for our service titles like Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, and Have a Nice Death as we always have. Our previous releases, including games like Remnant: From the Ashes and the Torchlight trilogy, will remain under our umbrella, with more amazing new games to come!
