Independent game developer, Supermassive Games, has made a name for itself in the industry. Delivering high quality cinematic narrative focused experiences such as Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology has resonated with gamers in a market that's seemingly becoming more multiplayer and live service focused. In an early morning announcement, Supermassive Games announced that the studio is no longer independent finding a home under Nordisk Games.

The acquisition of Supermassive Games comes a year after Nordisk Games invested into the studio. Nordisk Games is owned by Nordisk Film, and the acquisition of Supermassive expands Nordisk Games portfolio of studios in the gaming scene. Nordisk fully owns the Avalanche Studios Group, the team behind the Just Cause games, and has varying investment stakes in studios such as Star Stable Entertainment, Flashbulb Games, Nitro Games, and MercurySteam.

Per the official announcement, both parties spoke on the potential the acquisition brings. Mikkel Weider, CEO of Nordisk Games said “In acquiring 100% of the studio we’ll be able to increase our support to the team, and most importantly, continue the great working relationship we have with them.” Weider goes on to highlight the talent of the staff at Supermassive Games as well as the potential to keep producing the narrative heavy titles Supermassive is well-known for.

Overall reaction to the announcement has been positive as it made sense for Nordisk to fully acquire Supermassive. Supermassive Games has increasingly upped the ante with each new title the studio has delivered, as seen in its most recently released work, The Quarry. The full investment gives Supermassive
