Double Fine has regained the publishing rights to Costume Quest and Stacking from Nordic Games who had acquired them from the THQ auction a little while ago. In addition to that Nordic Games will publish retail versions of Psychonauts, Costume Quest and Stacking for Windows and Mac in North America and Europe during the first half of 2014.
“I am pleased that we have regained full control over Costume Quest and Stacking, following a daring and top-secret midnight raid on the Nordic Games headquarters in Vienna,” said Double Fine president and CEO Tim Schafer.
Nordic Games’ CEO also weighed in on the conversation.
“We can’t wait to partner with Double Fine for this upcoming retail launch of three of its most excellent games,” said Lars Wingefors, owner and CEO of Nordic Games. “However, I feel compelled to point out that we were happy to transfer distribution rights for Costume Quest and Stacking back to Double Fine in an entirely non-secretive and heist-free manner.”
This is truly great news for Double Fine and its fans after the IPs had been in jeopardy after the THQ melt down.
