Saints Row developer Volition has been shut down by the Embracer Group effective immediately.
A new message was recently posted on Volition’s official website confirming that the studio has finally shut down after 30 years. According to the company, it was shut down due to Embracer Group’s restructuring program to strengthen itself and maintain its position as a leader in the video game industry.
“The Volition team has proudly created world-class entertainment for fans around the globe for 30 years. We’ve been driven by a passion for our community and always worked to deliver joy, surprise, and delight.
“This past June, Embracer Group announced a restructuring program to strengthen Embracer and maintain its position as a leader in the video game industry. As part of that program, they evaluated strategic and operational goals and made the difficult decision to close Volition effective immediately.
“To help our team, we are working to provide job assistance and help smooth the transition for our Volition family members. We thank our customers and fans around the world for all the love and support over the years. You will always be in our hearts.”
