Nordic Games is an Austrian computer game publisher wholly owned by Nordic Games Group AB (Karlstad, Sweden). Its core portfolio comprises products and brands which have been acquired from JoWooD Entertainment and DreamCatcher Interactive in 2011 and from THQ in 2014.
History
On August 16, 2011 Nordic Games Holding announced that it had acquired assets from JoWooD, its products and brands, including The Adventure Company.[1] Following the acquisition it was announced that JoWooD and The Adventure Company will become publishing labels for Nordic Games GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordic Games Holding.[2]
In April 2013, Nordic Games acquired the remaining properties still owned by the bankrupt American video game publisher THQ as part of the company's liquidation, including the Darksiders, Red Faction, and MX vs. ATV franchises. Nordic plans to find new distribution channels for some of its newly acquired properties, and has considered the third-party development of new instalments.[3] On June 12, 2014, it was also announced that Nordic Games had acquired the THQ trademarks, allowing the company to use the THQ brand as an imprint on future games.[4]
