Saber Interactive received "significant investment" from two investment companies
More news has recently emerged that is at least indirectly related to the success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Its developer Saber Interactive announced that it has received a “significant equity investment.”
The investors were two investment companies companies - London-based Aleph Capital, founded in 2013 by a former top manager of Goldman Sachs, and New York-based Crestview, which manages a $10 billion fund.
According to the official press release, funds received from Aleph Capital and Crestview, will allow Saber Interactive to pay off its debt to Embracer Group due to the recent buyout, as well as accelerate its growth.
Recall that in March of this year it became known that Beacon Interactive, controlled by one of the founders of Saber Interactive Matthew Karchu, agreed to purchase the studio from a Swedish holding for $247 million.
There is no information on the amount of investment. However, a couple of hours before the announcement of the deal, information appeared that Beacon Interactive had transferred $168.4 million to the Embracer Group as payment for the assets of Saber Interactive.
In addition, as part of the deal, Jamie joined the board of directors of the game studio Rahamim, Managing Director and Head of Media at Aleph Capital, and Brian Cassidy, President and Head of Media at Crestview.
