Hello there. Another games studio has left the warm, er, embrace of the nice little friendship thing Embracer Group recently morphed into, and it’s via an acquisition by Nintendo this time. The studio is Shiver Entertainment, and if you’ve ever played Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch, you’ve enjoyed a bit of their work.
This news follows what’s been an interesting year so far for the publisher that Saber Interactive founder Matthew Karch has argued gets a bit of a bad rap, with Embracer having jettisoned Saber and Borderlands developer Gearbox Software in recent months.
As outlined in Nintendo’s notice of acquisition, its ageed to a deal to “acquire 100% of the outstanding shares” in Shiver – which was founded back in 2012 – thereby making it a full-blown subsidiary of the Switch maker.
