Square Enix sells Montreal studios (SE Montreal, Eidos, Crystal Dynamics, etc) to Embracer group

These studios are the ones that have been putting out Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Thief, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, etc.

While Avengers was a hot mess and better left forgotten, I'd say this is good news for a potential new entry in Deus Ex after SE basically killed it with Mankind Divided.

Hopefully a change in management rights the ship somewhat and doesn't try to venture into another 'games as a service' title.

Guardians is a great game. Lets just call Avengers a bad one-off out of the studio.

It's definitely gotten positive reviews. Apparently sales didn't meet expectations though.

I suspect a part of that might have been backlash due to the reception of 'the Avengers'. GotG just didn't look all that appealing to me for some reason despite the good reviews, maybe lots of others felt the same.

Hopefully this means the return of Deus Ex!
