THQ Nordic acquires Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy IP, says it’s “very well suited for the Nintendo audience”
THQ Nordic announced today that it acquired three new IPs from Mobile Gaming Studios and Enigma Software. The company now owns Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, War Leaders: Clash of Nations, and Legends of War.
That first one might be the most interesting to Nintendo fans. Way back in 2003, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy landed on the GameCube. It’s a third person action-adventure titles that takes inspiration from the mythology of Ancient Egypt.
Commenting on the new acquisitions, THQ Nordic Lars Wingefors said that Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy in particular “is very well suited for the Nintendo audience”. He also reconfirmed what we shared this past weekend – that being THQ Nordic’s two upcoming games for Switch.
He said:
“Due to our love for these types of games they were natural acquisition targets, however this financially a smaller acquisition it adds up to our portfolio. Moreover, we also got a lot of messages from fans that encouraged us to add them to our portfolio. Among these titles, Sphinx (and the Cursed Mummy) is very well suited for the Nintendo audience – which we love to support. We are excited for Nintendo Switch, Nintendos new platform, and already have two other projects in development for it.”
