LARA CROFT GO STUDIO CLOSED BY EMBRACER GROUP

Studio Onoma, previously Square Enix Montreal and Square Enix London Mobile, has been shuttered by new owners Embracer Group, Bloomberg reports. The studio was recently acquired alongside Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal from Square Enix. The closure is part of a company-wide initiative to reduce overheads and focus development on PC and console gaming.

Square Enix Montreal developed the GO series of mobile video-games including Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO and Deux EX GO. Square Enix London Mobile was to publish Tomb Raider Reloaded, developed by Emerald City Games. Tomb Raider Reloaded "is not cancelled and will be released early 2023," a member of the development team confirmed on the official Discord channel.
