Earlier this week, Dark Horse‘s parent company Embracer announced that it was going to split off Fellowship Entertainment, the division that includes Dark Horse. The shakeup is the latest for Embracer and Dark Horse that has includer the ouster of Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson. That’s not the end of the changes as the company announced more changes. As part of Dark Horse Comics’ continuing efforts to modernize, strengthen collaboration within the company, and build a more-connected organization across Fellowship Entertainment, they have announced several updates to its business.

Things From Another World 

Part of the changes is the closing all three of the Things From Another World retail locations, effective June 30, 2026, for the Oregon locations and September 30, 2026, for the California location. From the announcement:

This was not an easy decision, and we do not take lightly the impact it has on the people directly affected.

To the employees whose jobs will be affected by this closure, we are deeply grateful for your dedication, your hard work, and the care you brought to your roles every day. We are committed to supporting the affected employees through this transition. We are working to ensure that this process is handled with the care and respect it warrants.

The writing was on the wall for the retail locations as TFAW ended its affiliate program, of which we were a part, which often signals shifts at the company such as closures.

Dark Horse Entertainment

Dark Horse Entertainment is sharpening its focus on what has always been at the heart of this company — its creators. Going forward, they are deepening their commitment to its writers, artists, and storytellers who define the Dark Horse voice, ensuring they have the development support, creative partnerships, and resources to bring their visions to life across film and television. They believe the strongest path forward for Dark Horse Entertainment runs directly through the creative talent that makes this company extraordinary.

Dark Horse Games

Dark Horse Games is a new initiative dedicated to bringing the company’s rich creative universes to interactive entertainment. Just as Dark Horse Entertainment exists to champion our storytellers in film and television, Dark Horse Games will provide creators with the development opportunities and creative partnerships needed to realize their worlds within interactive entertainment. The same spirit that has defined Dark Horse Comics for four decades — independent, creator-driven, uncompromising — now has a home in Fellowship Entertainment.

Dark Horse’s parent company includes numerous video game publishers as well as the tabletop company Asmodee which includes numerous publishers. It was expected that we’d see more leveraging of Dark Horse IP into tabletop games and video games and tabletop games and video games spun out into comics. While there’s been some, the volume hasn’t quite panned out.

That’s a lot of changes for the publisher this year. Will we see a renewed a reinvigorated Dark Horse debut at San Diego Comic-Con later this year?
