《黑道聖徒：重啟版》銷售遭遇滑鐵盧，現在該系列的未來似乎不確定。IP所有者Embracer此前承認這款遊戲的口碑和商業表現反響平平，這是該公司首次承認這款重啟遊戲的投資回報率“低於平均水平”。
《黑道聖徒：重啟版》改變了Embracer為遊戲開綠燈的方式，Embracer在昨天發佈的2022年第三季度財務報告中透露，由於其主機和PC遊戲的表現不佳，該公司已經改變了對新項目開綠燈的政策。雖然沒有特別提到《黑道聖徒》，但Embracer明確表示“每個項目都必須贏得存在的權利”，這給該系列的未來留下了一個問號。
Embracer雖然收購了大量遊戲公司和IP，但沒有取得什麼成功。該公司承認，它需要“把質量放在第一位”，並提供“獨特、積極的玩家體驗”。
“我們增加了管理重點和努力，進一步優化整個集團的投資和效率。為了簡化，每個項目都必須贏得存在的權利，這意味著我們將更加努力地將質量放在第一位，並確保我們創造出獨特的積極玩家體驗。Embracer沒有透露《黑道聖徒：重啟版》的銷量。
Holding Embracer Group is revisiting its approach to approving its projects in light of the failure of the restart Saints Row. New items will now be selected more carefully, and game authors will have to “justify” the existence of their creations in the eyes of Embracer, focusing on the quality of projects. Information, by the way, appeared in a recent report of the conglomerate, where at the same time its future plans were announced. By all accounts, the cost of developing individual projects has exceeded their financial successes, and the Saints Row reboot may not yet have begun to turn a profit. And these failures, which did not justify the holding’s forecasts, led to monetary losses in the gaming segment on PC and consoles. The relaunch of Saints Row itself received low ratings from critics and players – the project was scolded for unsuccessful creative decisions and all sorts of technical problems. At the same time, Embracer plans to release 94 games for the period of 2023/2024 financial years, 58 of which have not yet been announced. It is possible that now not all of them will reach users.
