Housemarque’s still celebrating in the afterglow of its recently released, well-received PSN title Dead Nation — but the Finnish developer isn’t resting on its zombified laurels. The studio has secured a €300 thousand investment from fellow Finnish company Mediatonic. According to Arctic Startup, the investment will bankroll development on a whole new title: A downloadable “family game of skill and wits,” due out sometime next year.
That sounds like a far, far cry from Housemarque’s current announced project, the Ubis Outland — though it seems bizarre that the studio’s 20-some-strong development team would be working on two projects simultaneously. We’ve contacted Housemarque to see if they’ll comment on where that sweet, sweet cashflow is going.
