The news won’t come as a huge shock as Embracer and Gearbox had previously expressed specific interest in PWE’s publishing division as offering something unique for the company and “ strengthen Gearbox Entertainment’s Publishing division.” Of course, Gearbox had also said at the time that PWE would “remain independent within Gearbox Entertainment.” Your favorite games should still be playable as usual.Following the buyout of Perfect World’s North American branch by Embracer and its Gearbox subsidiary last year, Gearbox has announced that Perfect World Entertainment itself is getting a new name: Gearbox Publishing. Additionally, our email addresses will change so expect to receive newsletters and support tickets from new accounts.



You will begin to see new branding for our games, replacing the Perfect World Entertainment logo with the Gearbox Publishing one. Our previous releases, including games like Remnant: From the Ashes and the Torchlight trilogy, will remain under our umbrella, with more amazing new games to come! We’ll continue releasing content for our service titles like Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, and Have a Nice Death as we always have. Despite the name change, our organization, employees, products, and passion remain - just with a new makeover. Rest assured, we’re the same dedicated team of gamers working on the same titles we had before. Within Embracer, we’ve been placed in the loving care of the Gearbox Publishing wing of games, and we couldn’t be happier to join their family. Our goal has always been to publish high-quality games that create lasting impressions, and Embracer Group has stepped up to help achieve this vision.

We’re incredibly excited to announce that we are now Gearbox Publishing! Early in 2022, we were presented with a great opportunity to expand our horizons and extend our reach in the video game world.
