History
In August 2013, notable figures Paul Neurath (co-founder of Looking Glass Studios) and Daniel James (founder of Three Rings Design) became part of Demiurge. The firm was purchased by the Japan-based corporation Sega in February 2015 and was incorporated into Sega Networks, their mobile gaming sector. On April 2, 2020, co-founder Albert Reed alongside Geoffrey Hyatt reacquired Demiurge, shifting its focus toward supporting AAA game developers.
On August 18, 2021, the Swedish company Embracer Group took ownership of Demiurge, assigning it to their subsidiary Saber Interactive. Despite Embracer divesting Saber and several other studios in March 2024, Demiurge continues to be included within Embracer’s holdings.
