Another week brings another THQ Nordic acquisition. It really does feel like it happens this often now, doesn't it? This time around, the publisher has purchased Piranha Bytes and IPs the developer has worked on.
This means that along with the studio itself, THQ Nordic now owns the rights to the likes of the Gothic, Risen, and Elex IP. In a statement on the company's website, Group-CEO of THQ Nordic Lars Wingefors said: "The three strong IPs have proven successful and will be great additions to our portfolio. We look forward to bringing Piranha team into the family which has received legendary status across the RPG community as their fanbase cherishes their current games and eagerly anticipates their new titles in the future."
We don't expect to see anything from the team for quite some time, maybe not even until the early days of next generation, but it's an exciting prospect for the 31 German employees nonetheless. Are you looking forward to seeing what Piranha Bytes does next? Explain your love for euro jank in the comments below.

What dont they buy i have some stuff lying around. 😋
i heard that they are working on elex 2.
could be intresting since i seem to like "average" games (average according to reviewers).
It looks like you will have your triple A games then every AA game being made by THQ Nordic! They have bought all these studios but not really produced anything of note so far Darksiders 3 got a luke warm reception.
Gothic remaster for PS4?
There's competition in buying up middle-weight or AA developers it seems. Publisher Bigben Interactive recently acquired Cyanide (Call of Cthulhu), Eko (Warhammer: Chaosbane) and Kylotonn (WRC7).
Please please please make a sequel to elex. It’s such an underrated rpg and yeah it has jank but I don’t care that world,movement system with the jet pack etc was awesome and I want more of it
@majkpetr yes please. Gothic 1 and 2 should be played by every gamer... What satisfying and amazing games.
