Demiurge Studios, Inc. is an American video game developer based in Boston. It was founded in 2002 by Albert Reed, Chris Linder, and Tom Lin.[1]

History

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] Five years later on April 2, 2020, Sega sold Demiurge Studios back to its co-founder and chairman Albert Reed along with Geoffrey Hyatt with the company becoming an independent studio once again although the company said that they would continue to support the games that they developed under them.[5] A year later on August 18, 2021, the company was acquired again this time by Sweden-based Embracer Group and became a subsidiary of Saber Interactive.[6]
