Nacon Acquires Daedalic Entertainment

Following the latest trend of companies buying each other, Nacon has now adquired Daedalic Entertainment — one of Germany's largest and oldest independent videogame companies — an award-winning studio and known indie publisher.

Both companies partnered up in the publishing of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which is expected to come out in 2022. It seems things went well for them as Nacon then purchased Daedalic Entertainment for 53 million euros. Carsten Fichtelmann will continue to run the company with a lot of autonomy in development and publishing.

We knew, through our current collaboration on Gollum, that Nacon and Daedalic share the same values and the same objectives to deliver unique experiences to gamers. Therefore, it seemed logical to go further together and we’re extremely happy of this acquisition. It represents a significant step in Nacon's strategy.

Alain Falc, Chairman and CEO of NACON.

The completion of the transaction is expected to take place in 2022.
