As part of the restructuring, Embracer evaluated its strategic and operational goals and made the difficult decision to close Volition. Founded in 1993 as Parallax Software, Volition created several successful game franchises, including Summoner, Red Faction, and Saints Row. Volition expressed gratitude to its loyal fans for their support and promised to help impacted employees find new jobs. “We can't thank you enough for sticking with us throughout all this time,” said Volition in its latest statement. “You are why we kept making these games, and those of us that have been part of the Volition family will be eternally grateful.” After its previous release back on 2015, Developer Deep Silver Volition has officially announced the reboot of Saints Row coming on February 25.
