THQ Nordic has formed a new team in Bratislava, Slovakia, called Nine Rocks Games. The new division will begin working on a “survival/shooter” game immediately.

“We welcome the newest addition to the THQ Nordic network of studios: Nine Rocks Games,” THQ Nordic CEO Klemens Kreuzer wrote. “I personally think it is always a great sign in business, when everything just seems to fall into place."

Former DayZ developer David Durcak will lead the studio as chief executive officer. He will help the new team create a new survival title.

“We are very much looking forward to setting up shop in our office, gradually optimizing our team size, and getting to work on our project,” wrote Durcak. “With THQ Nordic as a partner, our roster of talent found perfect conditions to collaborate on our first joint project.”
