THQ Nordic acquires more franchises to prepare for the Nintendo Switch

Thanks to a small publisher in Europe, we’re learning a little bit more about who’s making games for the Nintendo Switch

The Vienna-based developer and publisher today announced that it has purchased franchises from Mobile Gaming Studios Ltd. and Enigma Software Productions. Specifically, THQ Nordic now owns Sphinx and the Cursed Mommy, a third-person action game that originally came out in 2003 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox, and GameCube, from Mobile Gaming Studios. It acquired the strategy series War Leaders: Clash of Nations and Legends of War from Enigma. THQ Nordic noted that it thinks the Sphinx series will be a good fit for Nintendo’s upcoming system, the Switch.
