Nine Rock Games is the latest studio to come from publisher THQ Nordic. The new company is based in the Slovakian capital Bratislava where the team is already hard at work on their first game.

Nine Rock Games will be lead by its CEO David Durcak. Durcak has spent the last five years working at Bohemia Interactive, the developer of the hit mod-turned-game DayZ.

Other members of the staff have honed their craft working on titles like DayZ, Conan, Chaser, and Soldier of Fortune 3. The studios first game hasn’t had any major details released yet, but we do know that it will be a survival shooter.

Nine Rock Games is the latest studio to be created by THQ Nordic’s parent company Embracer Group. Through its subsidiary Amplifier Game Invest has opened two other studios in the last month.
