As a result, Matthew Karch, formerly the CEO of Saber Interactive, will relinquish his position and board membership to take on the role of interim Chief Operating Officer. Andrey Iones, previously COO of Saber Interactive, will succeed Karch. Additionally, Phil Rogers has been appointed interim Chief Strategy Officer, while maintaining his role as CEO of Crystal Dynamics - Eidos. The revamped executive management team now consists of six members, including Lars Wingefors, Johan Ekström, Ian Gulam, Careen Yapp, Matthew Karch, and Phil Rogers. Although the specifics of the restructuring process remain unclear, Embracer Group has confirmed that it will involve the closure of studios and the cancellation of certain projects.
