Supermassive Games, creators of some of the best horror games on PC, have a new owner. The developer behind Until Dawn, the Dark Pictures series, and the recent The Quarry has been acquired by an investment group that also owns Mercury Steam and Avalanche Studios.

Last year, a partnership between the creator of the popular horror adventure game and investment group Nordisk Games was announced when it acquired a 30.7% stake in Supermassive Games, and it clearly paid off as Nordisk now owns the entire study.

As Supermassive announced on its website, Nordisk now owns “100%” of the UK studio. Joins Avalanche Studios, developer of Just Cause and Rage 2, as a wholly owned studio under the Nordisk banner. Nordisk also owns a 40% stake in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid Dread MercurySteam, so if acquiring Supermassive makes a difference, this developer could be next.

Supermassive CEO Pete Samuels said the team had a “positive experience over the past year” working with Nordisk, so it was “not a difficult decision” when Nordisk offered to buy the studio. “We have an exciting and ambitious growth strategy for Supermassive Games, and owning Nordisk Games only makes it better.”

“With 100% ownership of the studio,” adds Nordisk CEO Mikkel Weider, “we will be able to strengthen our support for the team and, more importantly, maintain a great working relationship with them.”

The quarry is now available and the system requirements aren’t that terrible, but be sure to check it out before you pick it up. The next game in The Dark Pictures anthology, The Devil In Me, will be released in October, so make sure your crime house is in order and ready: something bad is going to happen.
