Rage 2’s developer has been purchased by a film studio

The Danish movie and leisure studio Nordisk Film is taking full possession of Avalanche Studios, developer of Just Cause, Mad Max, and – with id Software – the forthcoming open world shooter Rage 2.

Nordisk has been eager to level out that, underneath its possession, “Avalanche Studios’ technique will stay unaltered. It will proceed as a creatively unbiased recreation studio, creating its personal IPs, in addition to catering to third-party publishers and license holders.” That final level is important, because it suggests collaboration with entities resembling Bethesda – which is publishing Rage 2 – may stay on the desk.

As a part of a long-running technique in investing in Nordic recreation builders, Nordisk acquired a minority stake in Avalanche in April 2017. The choice to take full possession follows a powerful 12 months since then, says Nordisk managing director Mikkel Weider. It will mark the one largest acquisition in Nordisk Film’s 111-year historical past, and will probably be finalised by the top of June this 12 months.
