According to an announcement by THQ Nordic (by way of Gematsu), the publishers now personal Deep Silver, and all of the sequence they publish, together with Saints Row, Metro, and Dead Island.
THQ Nordic, previously Nordic Games, is the successor to American publisher THQ, who beforehand owned the Volition – the builders of the Saints Row and Metro sequence. However, when THQ went bankrupt in 2013, Volition was offered to Deep Silver. By THQ Nordic buying Koch Media, and due to this fact, Deep Silver, they’ve returned the sequence to the THQ identify.
“Koch Media has a long history of profitability despite losses incurred from some less successful game releases,” THQ Nordic CEO, Lars Wingefors, says within the announcement. “THQ Nordic is convinced that the development studios of Deep Silver as part of THQ Nordic will successfully deliver at least four ongoing AAA game projects including Metro Exodus as well as the next Volition Studio AAA release and the next Dambuster Studio AAA release, together with a number of other game development and publishing titles.”
“I strongly believe that THQ Nordic is a great strategic fit with Koch Media,” Koch Media CEO, Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, provides. “In addition to having long experience within games development and publishing, THQ Nordic has the skills, willingness and capital to deliver growth in the future.”
