Paul Wedgwood’s Supernova acquires Shadow Warrior studio Flying Wild Hog

Supernova Capital LLP, a new venture from former Splash Damage founder and chief executive officer Paul Wedgwood, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Flying Wild Hog, a Polish studio known for the shooter series Shadow Warrior.

Wedgwood started Supernova after leaving Splash Damage, a studio he founded in 2001. Like with Flying Wild Hog, Splash Damage made its reputation with first-person shooters like Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It most recently worked on the multiplayer for Gears of War 4 in 2016. In 2017, Wedgewood sold Splash Damage in a deal worth up to $160 million to Hong Kong listed company Leyou. He created Supernova so that developers could have a happier and healthier work environment.
