Now that DarkHorseComics has been acquired by the Swedish video game giant embracergroup, the publisher has a treasure trove of games it can adapt into comics for fans.
With the announcement that Swedish video gaming company Embracer Group has entered into an agreement to acquire comic publisher Dark Horse Comics, much of the discussion has focused on what Dark Horse would add to Embracer’s bottom line. As the third-largest publisher of comic books in the United States, and with deep links to the Japanese manga market, Dark Horse has plenty of source material for Embracer’s gaming platforms to pour over.
In terms of just gaming sources, according to its website, Embracer owns 86 studios that produce more than 100 games in over 40 countries. Talk about a content “pot of gold.” Some of its more notable games include Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Trek Online, Dungeons and Dragons: Neverwinter, Borderlands and Saints Row. Those titles alone should prove Dark Horse with a plethora of content ideas.Tapping into Embracer’s prodigious content vault is not just a hat tip to its creators.
Any effort by Dark Horse to make use of Embracer’s impressive catalog of video games is likely to find support for the top levels of both companies. Indeed, Embracer founder Lars Wingefors got his start in business running a second-hand comic book sales company that went on to be the leading mail order retailer in Sweden. In other words, his roots are in comics.
So, while Dark Horse surely provides the Embracer Group with a number of benefits, the bigger winner in the merger might turn out to be Dark Horse Comics. It will gain access to a bottomless source of intellectual property to use for the content generation to not only satisfy its hardcore comics fans but also as a means to attract the untapped video gamers market by creating the comic adaptations of the games they know and love.
