The publisher will lean into console and PC adaptations while its development arm continues as HandyGames<\/p>\n
HandyGames has rebranded as THQ Nordic Mobile, with the publisher shifting its focus toward bringing premium PC and console titles to mobile platforms.<\/p>\n
The German-based company \u2013 which has previously published mobile versions of Wreckfest, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom \u2013 Rehydrated, and Titan Quest \u2013 said the move consolidates its publishing operations under the wider THQ Nordic umbrella so it can expand into mobile adaptations from established franchise.<\/p>\n
The company's internal development studio, also based in Giebelstadt, Germany, will continue operating under the HandyGames name, working on original titles and supporting THQ Nordic Mobile's technical porting work. Co-founders Christopher Kassulke and Markus Kassulke remain in charge of both the publishing label and the development studio.<\/p>\n
THQ Nordic said existing development pipelines, ongoing support for live titles, and current licensing agreements will continue unaffected by the restructuring.<\/p>\n
THQ Nordic acquired developer and publisher HandyGames back in 2018. The Austrian publisher gained control of all HandyGames IP.<\/p>\n
