Volition is being plucked away from Plaion.
After a lukewarm reception to the Saints Row reboot, Embracer Group has announced that it'll be plucking Volition from Plaion and handing it to Gearbox instead., Embracer looked back at how Saints Row performed and the future of its developer. While the parent company said that"financially, Saints Row has performed well in line with management expectations," critical reception was a different story.
As a result, Embracer is internally transferring Volition from one of its operating groups to another."Going forward, Volition will transition to become part of Gearbox which has all the tools, including an experienced management team in the US, to create future success at Volition. This is the first internal group transfer where we transfer a major studio between operative groups, but it is not necessarily the last.
It's a rather vague explanation behind the move, but perhaps Gearbox will be a better fit for the Volition team than Plaion. As Wingefors said, Saints Row didn't exactly have the best comeback. Jody found it was a little too restrained, awarding it a 60 in his."Saints Row is always at its best when it cuts loose, when it goes full dubstep-gun stupid, and the reboot forgets that for long stretches.
