La mattinata si apre con tre annunci da parte di THQ Nordic. La ex Nordic Games, infatti, ha svelato di aver portato sotto la sua ala Milestone, Gunfire Games e Goodbye Kansas Game Invest.
Milestone S.r.l. è il team italiano autore di tantissimi titoli racing come MotoGP, MXGP, RIDE e tanti altri:
”Milestone has developed racing games for 25 years now and is leading the two-wheel racing game genre today. With 50 developed games since inception, 8 million copies sold since 2013 and five games under development I am convinced that Milestone will see continued success in the future. I am thrilled to welcome Luisa and her experienced team to the THQ Nordic group”
Per quanto riguarda invece Gunfire Games, questo è il team che da anni ha lavorato alla realizzazione della saga Darksiders:
“With the acquisition of Gunfire Games we are strengthening THQ Nordic’s footprint in the US and are adding an experienced and talented development team that we know very well from having collaborated on Darksiders. Gunfire will contribute with premier development expertise to the group with realizable synergies from day one. It is with great anticipation of future projects we now welcome the team to the THQ Nordic family”
Goodbye Kansas Game Invest, infine, è lo studio che al momento sta lavorando ad una delle prossime uscite di THQ Nordic, ovvero l’interessantissimo Biomutant:
“Goodbye Kansas Game Invest is led by a skilled team with strong insights and experience in developing and growing gaming companies. Besides continuing to support the current portfolio, the transaction provides a great platform for strategic investments in early-stage companies as well as in established teams starting their own development studios”
