  • Embracer Has Shut Down Alone in the Dark Developer Pieces Interactive

    Embracer's reign of terror continues.
    Pieces Interactive - 2007 to 2024. Thanks for playing with us.

    Pieces Interactive, the studio behind the recent Alone in the Dark reboot, has now been shut down by Embracer Group. The studio was reportedly shut down after sales of Alone in the Dark failed to meet expectations.

    The closure comes from a statement made on Pieces Interactive's website and social media pages. It shows a lifespan of 2007 to 2024, the Pieces Interactive logo, along with a short message saying "thanks for playing with us." They continue on to talk briefly about their game development history.

    Pieces Interactive released over ten titles on PC, Console and Mobile since 2007, both our own concepts such as Puzzlegeddon, Fret Nice, Leviathan Warships, Robo Surf and Kill to Collect, as well as work for hire titles such as Magicka 2 and several DLCs for Magicka. Our client list includes Paradox Interactive, Koei Tecmo, Arrowhead Game Studios, Koch Media and RaceRoom Entertainment.

    In 2017, Pieces Interactive were acquired by Embracer Group after working with the expansion for Titan Quest, Titan Quest: Ragnarök and third expansion for Titan Quest, Titan Quest: Atlantis.

    Our last release was the reimagening of Alone in the Dark.​
    Today's closure comes weeks after several members of Pieces Interactive were laid off by Embracer. Pieces Interactive joins the ranks of Volition, Free Radical Design, and several other studios that Embracer has fully closed. Embracer is responsible for laying off thousands of workers globally just in the past year.
