Parent company THQ Nordic has officially rebranded its publisher HandyGames to THQ Nordic Mobile. The move is intended to streamline publishing operations and accelerate the release of high-end adaptations of established gaming franchises for mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, and next-generation mobile systems.
Quick Facts
- New Name: THQ Nordic Mobile
- Strategic Focus: Bringing premium PC and console titles to mobile devices
- Leadership: Co-founders Christopher Kassulke and Markus Kassulke remain in charge of both the publishing label and the development studio
- Internal Development: The Giebelstadt, Germany, team will continue as HandyGames Studios, managing original development and technical porting
The transition specifically separates the publishing arm from the internal development team. While the publishing label now carries the THQ Nordic Mobile branding, the Giebelstadt-based development team retains the HandyGames Studios name. This team will provide the technical support required for porting pipelines alongside their ongoing work on original game development.
THQ Nordic has not provided specific details regarding which titles from its catalog are currently slated for mobile adaptation, nor has it provided a release schedule for upcoming mobile projects under the new label.
