Nordisk Games, which already owns Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios and MercurySteam, the team behind Metroid Dread, acquired a 30% stake in Supermassive in March 2021. Pete Samuels, Supermassive’s CEO at the time stated:

“We are delighted to have Nordisk Games alongside Supermassive for what we are sure will be very exciting times ahead…Our companies share a passion for delivering beautiful games with stories that emotionally engage, and we are very much looking forward to working closely with them and their colleagues at Nordisk Film and Egmont.”

Nordisk Games was able to make a decision quickly about increasing their investments after having such positive experiences over the last year. The growth strategy we have for Supermassive Games is exciting and aggressive.

The Quarry was enjoyable. The summer camp slasher received an 8 out 10 rating.
