As of today, the studio will be rebranded as Coffee Stain North, expanding Coffee Stains reach well beyond its origin of Skövde. The acquisition builds upon an already successful partnership with the Stockholm based outfit that has been brewing for the last four years.
“We discovered Gone North Games when they pitched us on their first game - A Story About My Uncle, and we saw a lot of potential in their team already back then,” said Anton Westbergh, CEO of Coffee Stain. “The game ended up being our first foray into games publishing, and a successful one at that! Since then the talent behind Gone North has played a major part in carrying the Goat Simulator brand into the future through their seemingly endless creativity and vision. We welcome them into the Coffee Stain group with great excitement to soon be able to share more on their upcoming project”
“When we first approached Coffee Stain we already knew we had a lot in common,“ said Sebastian Eriksson, CEO of Gone North Games. “And over the years we’ve worked together we’ve discovered a deeper personal connection in everything from humor to game design sensibilities. All these commonalities have given us true creative freedom, and with the resources and support of Coffee Stain we’re currently working on our biggest project to date.
As the studio grows into their new offices on Kungsholmen, open positions will be continually posted here.
