Fatshark

Fatshark AB is a Swedish video game development studio based in Stockholm. It develops its own games and has also acted as a subcontractor for several AAA titles for PC and consoles.

History

Fatshark originated from a company called Northplay,[3] which subcontracted for various Swedish companies between 2003 and 2008.[4] The company is best known for its involvement with the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, developing Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and versions of its PC game Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West for both.[5]

In January 2019, Tencent acquired about a 36% stake in Fatshark in a deal worth approximately SEK500 million (around US$56 million).[6] Later, in January 2021, it was reported that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company valued at around 2.2 billion sek (around US$260 million).[7]
