The Quarry’s Supermassive Games Gets Acquired By Nordisk Games
Developer Supermassive Games rewinding back to the start of the PlayStation 4 generation was expected to be a shoe-in for becoming a first-party developer at PlayStation. With titles like Until Dawn and The Patient, there was heavy speculation of an arrangement underway at the time. However, the announcement never came as the team later began its Dark Pictures Anthology with Bandai Namco. Since then, the team has worked with the likes of Stadia Games & Entertainment for an upcoming project. However, the closing of the internal group at Google left the game to go free range moving forward. It wasn’t until this past March The Quarry was announced. But more recently, Axios Gaming reported that the title was in fact a planned exclusive for Stadia originally. In a new announcement on Tuesday, Supermassive Games reveals its acquisition by Nordisk Games. The publisher previously invested a 30 percent stake in Supermassive Games and has now officially purchased the English developer. It’s been a little over a year since Nordisk Games made an initial investment in Supermassive Games and our vision for the future. During that time, we have found that we share a lot of important values with Mikkel and his team, and we believe these values to be equally important to our existing commercial partners who we will continue to support. Having had such a positive experience over the past year it wasn’t a difficult decision when Nordisk Games wanted to explore increasing their investment. We have an exciting and ambitious growth strategy for Supermassive Games and Nordisk Games ownership only enhances that. I’m hugely excited about where the security offered by this partnership, and continued access to the expertise within Nordisk Games, will take us next. Pete Samuels, Supermassive Games CEO Nordisk Games CEO Mikkel Weider went on to state, “In the year we’ve worked alongside Pete and Joe and the whole Supermassive team, it’s been clear to us the amount of talent, as well as how much potential there is to further develop the kinds of story and narrative-driven games they excel at. “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.” In upcoming projects from Supermassive Games, the developer is preparing its release for the finale for Dark Pictures Anthology for Season One. In that, The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me was revealed. You can read the full report by heading here. Are you interested what the future holds for Supermassive Games? Source: Supermassive Games
Report: The Quarry & High On Life Were Initially Planned Stadia Titles
In the extended passage that Google pursued with its video game cloud streaming platform Stadia, the firm decided to abandon its plans to create unique content for the new initiative before it released its first project. One of the largest takeaways from the decision is with former Electronic Arts & Ubisoft veteran Jade Raymond departing from the firm. She later went on to form Haven Entertainment Studios which recently became a PlayStation first-party team. However, there is more to the story. According to Video Game Chronicles last year, the firm when squandering its ambitions also canceled upcoming ambitions from some teams. Titles such as Journey to the Savage Planet 2 which the original developers acquired the rights to under Raccoon Logic. The report also referenced an unannounced Harmonix title alongside a separate multiplayer title from Ubisoft veteran Francois Pelland. According to Axios Gaming in a recent report, it is indicated that recent titles The Quarry alongside High on Life were both intended to be unique Stadia IPs previously. This does make sense especially with developer Supermassive Games previously establishing a publishing deal with Stadia Games & Entertainment ahead of its shuttering its doors. When pressing the developers on the matter, Supermassive Games did admit it was in search for a publisher and 2K was interested to support the game. The firm did not elaborate on ties with Stadia nor Google for The Quarry. In a vaguer response, Squanch Games only gave listings for High on Life without acknowledging the questions from Axios Gaming. Ultimately it appears that what could have been for Stadia will remain in the minds of who connected the dots. But from Google, the platform could be facing a different fate according to Business Insider. In that, the platform is said to being shelved for a new game streaming platform which is in incubation internally at Google. You can read the full report by heading here.
