Nordisk Games has acquired a 40% stake in the Spanish development studio MercurySteam.
The exact value of the deal was not disclosed by the Copenhagen-based firm, which said only that the investment was "sizeable."
MercurySteam, which is based in Madrid, has a team of 160 people, and is best known for its work on games such as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid: Samus Returns.
The studio's most recent launch was the self-published free-to-play title Spacelords, though Nordisk said it has multiple new games in development.
The acquisition of 40% of MercurySteam represents Nordisk's first investment outside of the Nordic region. It now has eight games companies in its portfolio.
