For those unfamiliar with Volition, they were founded back in 1993, and just last June, they celebrated their 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The news of their closure definitely brought sadness to the gaming community. In their statement, the studio was transparent on what led Embracer Group to this decision.

They aim to conserve their position as a leader in the video game industry. To achieve their goals, they had to come up with various strategies. One of their strategies was to shut down studios that were unfeasible. Unfortunately for Volition, possibly because of the Saints Row Reboot, they were affected by the restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>Various gaming outlets have also reported that Embracer initiated this program after a major deal fell through. The deal was reportedly worth $2 billion USD, so for it to fall through massively affected Embracer and their finances.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_the_Saints_Row_Reboot_cause_Volition_to_shut_down\"><\/span><strong>Did the Saints Row Reboot cause Volition to shut down?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Volition\u2019s latest release was the Saints Row Reboot.
