Series like Saints Row and Red Faction "will live on" at a new developer after Volition shutdown
Deep Silver says Plaion will take up the mantle

On the heels of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a total and immediate shutdown for 30-year-old studio Volition, publisher Deep Silver say🦋s that series like Saints Row and Red Faction aren't dead yet.
Deep Silver issued its own after Volition released a farewell acknowledging the efforts of its developers and the love from its community. "Our thoughts go out to everyone at Volition, paꦜst and present," Deep Silver writes. "We're incredibly grateful for their unforgettable work on Saints Row and Red Faction, whose IPs will live on at PLAION."
on Steam).PLAION, you may recall, was previously known as Koch Media back when it was acquired by Embracer Group, the same holding company that also owns THQ Nordic. Volition was a subsidiary of Koch/PLAION at the time of that acquisition, but was later transferred to the broader Gearbox company that Embracer also owns. PLAION is actually above Deep Silver on the Embracer hierarchy, sort of like Take-Two to Rockstar but with an even b🍷igger corporate mothership looming overhead.
How exactly PLAION will keep Saints Row, Red Faction, or potentially other Volition IP alive remains to be seen, but don't expect any announcements anytime soon. At the very least, this could indicate that 🌟2022's troubled Saints Row reboot may yet receive the still-desperately-needed patches that were 🐠announced well before this whole mess.
Saints Row fans are nevertheless worried for the series' future, and critical of Embracer Group as more studios get caught up in its "restructuring" following a failed $2 billion deal.
