Saber Interactive: We Can Just Do AAA Games Smarter

Saber Interactive maintains a competitive edge in the global video game industry by challenging the traditional, high-expenditure model of AAA development.

  • Saber Interactive, with 3,500 employees, claims to have more licensed products in development than any other developer globally, including titles like Hellraiser, Hitman, Jurassic Park, John Wick, Avatar, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3.
  • Saber Interactive attributes its ability to develop AAA games "smarter" to efficient cost management and a focus on quality, citing Space Marine 2 as an example of a huge AAA game developed more cost-effectively than others.
  • The success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 significantly boosted Saber Interactive's reputation, leading to increased interest from major license holders and enabling the company to be selective about projects, turning down more than it accepts.
