      <title>Nordic Games set to acquire THQ Inc.’s assets – Darksiders, Red Faction, amongst others</title>

        Nordic Games announced today that it was one of the successful bidders in THQ´s auction process, which ended on April 15. Subject to approval of the bankruptcy court overseeing THQ’s case, Nordic Games will acquire more than 150 SKUs for a purchasing price of USD 4.9 million spanned across PC, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony platforms.<br />
<br />
This constitutes the biggest acquisition deal in the company history of Nordic Games so far. The acquisition is handled by Nordic Games Licensing AB, based in Karlstad, Sweden, whereas the day-to-day business (sales and distribution of said titles, evaluation of sequels & new content etc.) with the acquired portfolio will be conducted by Nordic Games GmbH, based in Vienna, Austria. The Vienna based business along with its North American sister company, Nordic Games NA Inc. already takes care of the previously acquired JoWooD and DreamCatcher IPs.<br />
<br />
“First and foremost we are very happy about this deal which also turns over a new leaf for the entire Nordic Games Group. In the long term, we either want to cooperate with the original creators or best possible developers in order to work on sequels or additional content for these titles” comments Lars Wingefors, owner and CEO of Nordic Games Group AB. “A very important point for us is not to dash into several self-financed multi-million dollar projects right away, but rather to continue our in-depth analysis of all titles and carefully selecting different financing models for developing new instalments of acquired IPs.<br />
<br />
“In August 2013, Nordic Games Vienna will have been in business for two very exciting and successful years, and this transaction takes us to new heights and challenges for the years to come” says Klemens Kreuzer, Managing Director at Nordic Games GmbH. “We gradually geared up our company over the years in terms of our overall online and boxed business, our range of platforms, and our headcount. This substantial increase of our games portfolio is the next step to maintain and strengthen our position across a wide range of digital platforms, licencing partners in emerging markets, and in our European and North American core markets” adds Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at Nordic Games GmbH.<br />
<br />
Nordic Games and THQ expect the US Bankruptcy Court to hear the motion for the sale on May 13, 2013 and to finalize the purchase transactions thereafter.<br />
<br />
Nordic Games invites everybody who is interested to visit Nordic Games’ forums and openly discuss on how these titles should be moving forward: <a href="http://forum.nordicgames.at/forumdisplay.php?909-Discussion-about-THQ-IPs">http://forum.nordicgames.at/forumdisplay.php?909-Discussion-about-THQ-IPs</a> {extended}

        Nordic Games have now finished the recordings for its stunning fast-paced point and click adventure, The Raven – Legacy of a Master Thief, which has been brought to life in English and German, releasing in June 2013 for PC. <br />
<br />
The Raven Blog tracks the journey of the KING Art development team and can be viewed here: <a href="http://raven-game.com/en/blog" title="http://raven-game.com/en/blog">http://raven-game.com/en/blog</a>. The latest edition to the blog gives the behind-the-scenes look at the work that has gone into adding voice-acting into the game to breathe life into the characters. <br />
<br />
“The Raven – Legacy of a Master Thief will be one of the most immersive titles that we release this year and has now been brought to life by great voice acting that brings the adventure to life and accentuates the story,” said Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director. “KING Art has put together a fascinating story that will enthral players on a scandalous gentleman thief’s adventure.”<br />
<br />
Set across 1960s Europe, the ‘whodunit’ tale is full of twists and turns that will have players on the edge of their seats. Journeying  through thrilling and dense atmospheres with the aim of catching the art burglar, The Raven, players follow his  trademark black feather clues to capture the thief and to protect a legendary sapphire, the “Eye of the Sphinx” on its journey from Switzerland to Egypt.<br />

Nordic Games will be providing Painkiller Hell & Damnation players a unique opportunity to create their very own Painkiller experience with the tools used by developers from The Farm 51.<br />
<br />
Fans of the Painkiller series will be invited to get creative with the Mod-Kit of Painkiller Hell & Damnation which will enable them to produce their own personal game, using the tools available in the Steam Workshop. The beta of the Mod-Kit is expected to go online early April 2013, and Nordic Games is more than happy to enlist all able modders.<br />
<br />
If you got what it takes, please head over to the thread on the <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/app/214870/discussions/0/846947231093178845/" title="Steam Community Hub">Steam Community Hub</a> of Painkiller Hell & Damnation.<br />
<br />
Using the Mod-Kit, players will be able to delve the depths of their imaginations to craft a totally unique Painkiller world through the use of pioneering personalised items, maps, weapons and multiplayer skins, all within the Steam Workshop framework.<br />
<br />
In addition to this, the Linux and Mac gaming community will also be in for a hellish treat this spring when Painkiller Hell & Damnation launches on these platforms. Players using the Linux and Mac platforms will finally be able to join the Painkiller PC gaming community and fully immerse themselves in Daniel Garner’s purgatory.<br />
<br />
“As well as launching the Mod-Kit, we are working to provide regular updates and further improvements to the existing content and framework.” said Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games. “We’re also working to port good old Daniel Garner to Linux and Mac this April/May.”<br />
<br />
“The Mod Kit is a great tool that we want to make available for the Painkiller and its modding community. When you look at the history of video games, specifically at the mod-history in the FPS and RTS department, a serious proportion of big names originally come from exactly that community,” said Philipp Brock, PR and Marketing at Nordic Games. “Our best interest is to make all tools available for the collective creative potential of the Painkiller community.”<br />
<br />
Developed by Polish studio The Farm 51 and powered by Unreal Engine 3, Painkiller Hell & Damnation recreates the sensations and hardcore gameplay of the original Painkiller. Released in 2004, Painkiller won high praise and many accolades and fans for its fast and unique gameplay. Keeping true to the old-school FPS ideology, lightning-fast movement enables skilful players to get into the heart of the fast-paced gameplay, topped off with stunning enormo-boss fights requiring sneaky tactics. {extended}

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        The traditional summer blockbuster is making the leap from picture house to home cinema this July, as Nordic Games and The Farm 51 announce Deadfall Adventures – a thrilling and immersive action adventure which seamlessly combines the first person shooter experience with puzzle-solving and exploration, taking players across the globe in Nordic Games’ most ambitious game to date.<br />
<br />
Watch the trailer here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL39xbL8JCI" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL39xbL8JCI">Announcement Trailer</a><br />
<br />
The year is 1938. James Lee Quatermain is a man of many talents, yet holding on to money isn't one of them. Quatermain isn't all too keen on escorting Jennifer Goodwin, a US agent and former colleague of his, to an Egyptian temple complex in order to retrieve an ancient artifact - The Heart of Atlantis. Neither does he believe in the reputed invigorating qualities of this artifact, nor does he care that a division of the Ahnenerbe, the Nazi department specialized in the occult, is after The Heart as well.<br />
<br />
But life has its ways of changing one's perspective. Quatermain soon finds himself part of a hunt across the globe - from the stormy deserts of Egypt to the icy depths of the Arctic and all the way to the steaming jungles of Guatemala.<br />
<br />
In the long-forgotten temple complex, the thrill of the chase awakens the true adventurer in Quatermain, as he and Agent Goodwin strive to be one step ahead of the Nazis and the Russians, one step closer to obtaining the Heart of Atlantis. And deep in these temples, where age-old guardians awake from their eternal slumber, James soon learns that his great-grandfather's stories are not as crazy as he had always believed. For all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten.<br />
<br />
The game uses Unreal Engine 3 to produce one of the most jaw-dropping spectacles this generation has enjoyed, as players battle natural and not-so-natural enemies. Along the way, fiendish puzzles, deadly traps and stunning set pieces will make this one of the greatest adventures ever told – let alone played.<br />
<br />
“Deadfall Adventures marries the ethos of the Saturday morning matinee with the Summer blockbuster to create an original adventure which will grip players from start to finish,” says Klemens Kreuzer, Managing Director at Nordic Games. “We’re putting players into the heart of the action, just as they’d dreamed as children, staring at their heroes on the silver screen. It’s fantastic to be working on Deadfall Adventures with The Farm 51 from the roots up; it’s going to be an exciting summer.”<br />
<br />
“We’re thrilled to be working on our second project alongside Nordic Games,” says Wojciech Pazdur, Development Director at The Farm 51. “We’re putting everything into the games’ stunning graphics to create a unique experience that will be both challenging and engaging. The great thing about Deadfall Adventures, it makes us discover the little Indiana Jones in all of us.”<br />
<br />
Deadfall Adventures will be released on July 30th 2013 for Windows PC and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.<br />

        Nordic Games is pleased to announce The Last Stand DLC from SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny is available to purchase today on Steam.<br />
<br />
The Last Stand is the third DLC to be released for the fantasy RPG, set in the dangerous world of Dun Mora where The Nameless has launched a ferocious attack against the elves and Queen Sansha. Players must assume the role of Caine and use their tactical skills to help defend the precious land.<br />
<br />
Dun Mora has become too dangerous for Professor Twiddle to journey through carrying parts of the Twiddlium Compensator. Leaving the parts with Queen Sansha to look after, the attacks become more frequent and are taking on a new dimension that players will need to battle through.<br />
<br />
To download The Last Stand for only £3.49/€3.99/$3.99 visit Steam today at around 6pm GMT: <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/226390/?snr=1_7_15__13" title="http://store.steampowered.com/app/226390/?snr=1_7_15__13">http://store.steampowered.com/app/226390/?snr=1_7_15__13</a><br />
<br />
“The SpellForce DLCs are great value for money adding over 12 hours of genuine SpellForce gameplay all for under £10/€10/$10 with a Season Pass,” said Gennaro “Genna” Giani, Localization and Production Manager at Nordic Games. “Listening to what the fans want is very important to us. Each DLC that has been released has taken on board the feedback we’ve received to create extra content that we know players will enjoy.”<br />
<br />
SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny was released in June 2012 for PC. Joining forces with a group of diverse heroes and a dragon as trustful companions, players fight to gain information about this mysterious new enemy and thereby discover their own true destiny. Players assume the role of a young man who is supposed to release the entire world of Eo from the threat of a new and nameless evil.<br />
<br />
The Last Stand is available to purchase from Steam today priced £3.49/€3.99/$3.99 or it can be purchased with a Season Pass priced £8.99/€9.99/$9.99, which includes Flink’s Diary and the Golden Fool.<br />
