Square Enix Montreal Rebrands Under Embracer Group

Get ready for Onoma.
by Natalie Collazo on October 10, 2022   

Lara Croft Go


Earlier this year, we spoke about how Square Enix Montreal had been purchased by Embracer Group in a $300 million settlement alongside Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Now, Square Enix Montreal has been rebranded under Embracer Group as Onoma. The official website for the studio outlines the reason for the rebrand as well as the symbolism behind what this new company stands for including the Greek origin of the name. In fact, Onoma simply means 'name' in Greek which creates a sense of new beginnings for the company.
 

As we start a new chapter as studio onoma, we wanted to share behind-the-scenes insights into our rebrand story.

 

- Our strength has always been our ability to evolve and adapt to trends and market changes. Our rebrand as Studio Onoma is one more transformation that we are excited to take on. 

 

- Our new brand identity will serve as an umbrella to multiple products, programs, and initiatives, each with distinct personalities. 

 

- We have built the Onoma brand to be flexible to see us into the future, connect with multiple audiences, and not hinder us from expanding with the market.

 

Our name and look might have changed but we are still us: a studio that empowers creativity and innovation and always puts people before products. (Just in a new and improved version!)


The Lara Croft Go developers also went over their creative journey from the moment that the acquisition began to the reveal of the rebrand. Much thought was put into the branding and design itself which shows that the future of the company is still very much at the forefront, even after the acquisition. Hopefully, this means that we will continue to see growth and more releases in the near future under the new name.
