Nordic Games opens new Munich studio

Publisher Nordic Games has opened a brand new studio in Munich under the name of Grimlore Games.

The new firm is staffed by experienced developers, graphic artists and designers that have worked on titles such as The Settlers 2, Knights and Merchants, Cultures and SpellForce 2. They have been tasked with continuing the latter franchise with the newly announced SpellForce 3.

"The rich talent pool in Munich was a key factor in deciding the new studio’s location," Nordic Games said in a statement.

"Many young and highly skilled developers gather in Munich who, in the coming months and years, will complement the core team at Grimlore Games. The studio will focus on PC games for core gamers, specifically the role-playing and real-time strategy genres."

The studio is still hiring, with current vacancies listed on its website: www.grimloregames.com.
