Nintendo has announced its agreement to acquire the total outstanding shares of game developer Shiver Entertainment from Embracer Group.
Shiver has gained recognition for developing software across multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, and has contributed to the creation of notable titles such as Hogwarts Legacy and Mortal Kombat 1. Nintendo intends to establish Shiver as a wholly owned subsidiary and leverage its skilled development team to enhance its own software development capabilities. The completion of this acquisition is contingent upon fulfilling customary closing conditions.
