THQ Nordic has announced its acquisition of Frankfurt-based Metricminds, a service provider for animated content.
The acquisition was announced in a press release from THQ Nordic, though the terms of the deal were undisclosed.
Metricminds is known for creating cutscenes, trailers, motion capture, keyframe animation, facial animation, and cinematics delivered in-engine. All members of the team will be retained after the acquisition.
Projects that Metricminds has worked on include Horizon Forbidden West, Dying Light, Borderlands 2, Evolve, and more.
Earlier this month, THQ Nordic’s parent company Embracer Group released a report of its earnings for the previous year.
The report reflects on the last quarter, revealing that the company has seen strong sales. It claims: “The main revenue driver for the quarter was strong back catalogue performance, which exceeded management’s expectations”.
