THQ Nordic Acquires Studios Behind "Little Nightmares"

In THQ Nordic's ever-constant quest to acquire as many studios as possible, they have nabbed Tarsier Studios, the makers of Little Nightmares. Technically it was Embracer Group, the parent company of THQ Nordic and Koch Media, who bought them for roughly $9.4m. But it's pretty much a given that THQ will end up being in charge of the company moving forward, like all acquired assets and gaming companies. Tarsier made the announcement last week on its website.

"This morning, something really cool happened…"

Couldn't have put it better myself. Having now met them and heard their ambitions for our studio, it's fair to say that the future feels very exciting indeed. Anyway, there will be lots more to say about all of this, but for now, please find the official press release linked below for your perusing pleasure.

The company is currently in the process of making Little Nightmares II, although little info has been released about it since it was announced. No word yet if the company will continue to operate as it has or if major change is coming. Hopefully, the powers that be will allow them to finish up the next game with little change or interruption. As we've seen in the past, ownership changes mid-stream can mess up development.
