Nom Nom Nom Nom. Nom Nom. Nom. That was my impression of THQ Nordic buying numerous IPs as a part of it’s ongoing, unstoppable quest to presumably create some kind of weird Smash Bros knockoff the place you possibly can combat Sergeant Cortez from TimeSplitters because the goat from Goat Simulator. Warhorse, the group behind final 12 months’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance, is the newest studio to say hi there to the within of THQ Nordic’s stomach. Nom Nom Nom.
The deal takes place precisely one 12 months after Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s launch, like some kind of witch returning precisely twelve full moons to the day to assert her prize after an unspeakable blood ritual. Or only a completely regular enterprise deal I’m making an attempt to make sound extra thrilling than it’s. Probably that, truly.
“Becoming part of THQ Nordic family is an important milestone for our studio,” Warhorse CEO Martin Fryvalsky mentioned in assertion. “We began as a small start-up with a handful of employees who were enthusiastic enough to join this challenging project. The skills of our team members, trust and support of our main investor and passion of our fans, who supported development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance through a Kickstarter campaign, helped us grow to an international level. We believe that backing by THQ Nordic will give us an extra push in our mission to bring exciting games to our customers and extend the frontiers of the gaming industry.”
THQ Nordic have been on a shopping for spree since Nordic Games first purchased THQ’s title and (some) properties. In the final six months they’ve purchased TimeSplitters from Crytek, the Kingdoms Of Amalur IP, Alone In The Dark and Act Of War, Carmageddon, Outcast, plus “>Bugbear Entertainment and Coffee Stain Studios, the makers of Wreckfest and Goat Simulator (and the upcoming Satisfactory) respectively.
I believed was quite a bit to admire about Kingdom Come: Deliverance. There’s not many RPG’s that make you trek by way of the woods for an hour babysitting an irritating nobleman, and even fewer with the hunt goal ‘throw poo at house’. Equally, there was simply as a lot to rightfully criticise. Still, the actual fact stays that it wasn’t extra TimeSplitters, and that’s all that basically issues right here. Can I’ve some extra TimeSplitters now please? Thanks.
