Arc Games has reemerged as an independent publisher after being divested by Embracer Group.
The company confirmed a successful management buyout from Embracer (with financing support from XD Inc.) will allow it to move forward as a “fully autonomous organization.”
Arc Games CEO Yoon Im will continue to lead the publisher alongside its existing management team.
“This milestone marks a major new chapter for Arc Games. We appreciate our time being part of Embracer Group and the accomplishments achieved since the company’s inception over 15 years ago,” said Im in a press release.
“These experiences have shaped who we are today. As an independent publisher, we are now positioned to more fully pursue our vision—collaborating with exceptional developers worldwide and bringing standout games to market. 2026 is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and innovative years in our history, and we are excited for what lies ahead.”
Arc was established in 2008 as Perfect World Entertainment before eventually rebranding. It has largely specialized in bringing live service titles to market—including Neverwinter and Star Trek Online—but has also worked on double-A releases such as Remnant II and the Torchlight franchise.
The company now intends to expand its footprint and has already bolstered its publishing slate with multiple unannounced titles.
