Demiurge Studios, Inc. is an American video game developer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was founded in 2002 by Albert Reed, Chris Linder, and Tom Lin.[1]
The studio was originally founded in a residential house in Pittsburgh before moving to Boston with space provided by Harmonix.[2] In August 2013, Looking Glass Studios co-founder Paul Neurath and Three Rings Design founder Daniel James joined Demiurge.[3] In February 2015, Demiurge was acquired by Japan-based company Sega and became part of their mobile gaming subsidiary, Sega Networks.[4] On April 2, 2020, Sega sold Demiurge Studios back to its co-founder and chairman Albert Reed, and Geoffrey Hyatt with plans to return to support work for AAA game studios.[5]
On August 18, 2021, the company was acquired by Sweden-based Embracer Group and became a subsidiary of Saber Interactive.[6] In March 2024, Embracer sold off Saber and many of its studios. However, Demiurge remains under Embracer.[7]
