THQ Nordic is back to doing what it does best - snapping up smaller studios and bringing them under its now gigantic umbrella of developers. The latest acquisitions include Gunfire Games, who developed Darksiders III and are currently working on this month's Remnant: From the Ashes, alongside the likes of Milestone S.R.L and Goodbye Kansas Game Invest.
The purchase of Gunfire Games is quite clearly the biggest talking point here, but Milestone S.R.L does bring with it some pedigree. With a focus on racing games, the team is known for MotoGP, RIDE, and Monster Energy Supercross. Goodbye Kansas Game Invest, on the other hand, is a bit of an unknown quantity. The acquisition gives THQ Nordic a small piece of the pie in five up and coming studios, as well as the royalty rights to BioMutant. This purchase seems like one for the future, rather than something that'll produce immediate results.
Do these sorts of acquisitions interest you? Whip out the wallet in the comments below.

All part of THQ Nordic’s master plan for ruling the world.
It’s a trip seeing articles like this. I remember reading in magazines about all the trouble THQ was in years ago.
@outsider83 THQ and THQ Nordic are two different companies. The original THQ doesn't exist anymore, and Nordic Games simply bought the rights to the THQ name. They're not the same thing.
I’m happy to see THQ Nordic acquire Gunfire Games- bodes well to the future of DarkSiders.
Performance issues aside, it was a respectable follow up.
Quantity over quality. 😐
Just how many developers does THQ Nordic now have?
They be buying everyone up since three years ago from what I remember!
Great that they've secured Gunfire Games, the future of Darksiders seems bright, i wish they'd have saved Telltale as well though, but alas, too late now.
@LiamCroft Oh ok. Thanks for the info!
