Another day, another acquisition in the world of video games. Supermassive Games, the studio behind horror titles like The Quarry and the newly revealed The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, has now been acquired by Copenhagen-based Nordisk Games.
Part of Egmont, a Nordic media group, via entertainment company Nordisk Film, the new owners of Supermassive has steadily built their portfolio in the games industry. Supermassive Games joins the likes of Avalanche Studios Group, Star Stable Entertainment, Flashbulb Games, Nitro Games, and MercurySteam as part of that portfolio of both minority and majority-owned game studios.
According to Mikkel Weider, CEO of Nordisk Games:
This 100% acquisition of Supermassive Games, which is based in the UK, follows after an initial stake of 30.7% in 2021. Pete Samuels, CEO of Supermassive Games, shared this statement alongside the announcement:
This will likely have no bearing on the projects already planned for the near future by Supermassive Games. The aforementioned finale to the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology will likely be followed by more horror titles for a second season, although there could very well be a surprise like The Quarry down the line.
