HandyGames rebrands to THQ Nordic Mobile

Same team, new name.

HandyGames has changed its name to THQ Nordic Mobile, parent company THQ Nordic announced.

Under this “strategic realignment,” the publisher will operate under the THQ Nordic brand with an ‘exclusive focus’ on bringing “premium, critically acclaimed PC and console titles” to mobile platforms.

According to THQ Nordic Mobile, this move “streamlines publishing operations and positions the group to accelerate the development of high-end adaptations of established gaming franchises for iOS, Android, and next-generation mobile platforms.”

At the same time, THQ Nordic Mobile’s internal development team in Giebelstadt, Germany will continue its operations and 26-year heritage under the new name HandyGames Studios, focusing on original game development and supporting THQ Nordic Mobile’s technical porting pipelines. Co-founders Christopher Kassulke and Markus Kassulke will continue to lead both the publishing label and the development studio.
