THQ Nordic acquires Kingdom Come: Deliverance dev Warhorse Studios

THQ Nordic announced today that it has acquired Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the 2018 PC role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The deal is worth $37.53 million on a cash and debt free basis.

Warhorse’s is in Prague in the Czech Republic. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was the studio’s first title, and a Kickstarter campaign raised over $1.24 million back in 2014 to help fund the project, billing itself as “Dungeons & No Dragons” for its focus on realistic combat, no magic, and Central European history. It became a hit, selling over 2 million copies. This will be THQ Nordic’s first studio in the Czech Republic.
