For a publisher that's most well-known for their World War II shooters and zombie apocalypse game, you wouldn't exactly expect their office to be in a second floor of a church. Sure enough though, that's exactly where Tripwire Interactive is based. The PC focused publsiher is most well-known for their Red Orchestra franchise and their PC hit title, Killing Floor. Thankfully, I had the oppurtunity to jump into the office of Alan Wilson, Vice President of Tripwire Interactive and talk about the Red Orchestra franchise, their unqiely developed Red Orchestra 2 expansion, Rising Storm, as well as the possibility of expanding into consoles.
Former Tripwire CEO John Gibson has claimed that "social terrorism" was behind his ousting as the company's head last year.
From Gematsu: "Embracer Group has acquired Bitwave Games, Gioteck, Limited Run Games, Middle-earth Enterprises, Singtrix, Tatsujin, Tripwire Interactive, and Tuxedo Labs, as well as established a new operative group called Embracer Freemode."
I think I saw a blurb about Koei Tecmo too, but not sure if that was real as I dont see the press release on their site.

Embracer group doesn’t seem to produce many smash hits games. Yet the company is constantly expanding. Embracer, must be relying on investor money ?
Saudi Arabia just recently invested 1 billion into Embracer. Keep in mind they did so through their sovereign wealth fund, which is spearheaded by Mohammad bin Salman.
Interesting news here and seems to be a change in the industry. Tripwire Interactive have announced a new work model which has been an area of focus in the industry.
