THQ Nordic Acquires Biomutant Developer

THQ Nordic was already going to be publishing Experiment 101’s “open-word, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu fable RPG” Biomutant, but things must have been going really well between the companies and for Biomutant press in general, because the former has now snapped up the latter – along with the IP – by purchasing 100% of Experiment 101 AB’s shares. Hopefully this business deal doesn’t affect us in any measurable way, and we’ll be jumping into the role of a hand cannon- and sword-wielding creature with a grasshopper companion next year:
