Gearbox Publishing rebrands to Arc Games

Embracer Group recently sold off Gearbox Entertainment, along with a few other studios, to Take-Two Interactive. However, Embracer did hang on to Gearbox Publishing. Now, Gearbox Publishing is rebranding, renaming to Arc Games.

Gearbox Publishing partnered with a number of indie studios over the years to publish some very successful titles, like the Risk of Rain series, as well as the Remnant games. Now, as confirmed by Remnant 2 developer, Gunfire Games, Gearbox Publishing has been rebranded to Arc Games. It would seem that the publisher will continue to work with Gunfire Games on the Remnant series.

Under this new label, the company will act as publisher for several upcoming games, including Gigantic: Rampage Edition and Hyper Light Breaker, a long awaited follow-up to the indie gem, Hyper Light Drifter.

Arc Games will have more announcements under its new name as part of the Triple I showcase this week, a new showcase dedicated to highlighting upcoming indie titles.

KitGuru Says: Now that Gearbox is back with Take-Two under its subsidiary, 2K Games, which already has its own publishing capabilities, leaving Gearbox Publishing with Embracer was a smart move. Hopefully Arc Games can continue to support promising indie projects in the future – I'll be keeping my eye out for Hyper Light Breaker.
