Manchester, UK – 13th June, 2022 – Merge Games and Dimfrost Studio are excited to reveal their partnership in bringing grim adventure ‘Bramble: The Mountain King’ to PC and consoles. The partnership marks the first in-house publishing deal for Zordix, who acquired Dimfrost Studio in 2020 and Merge Games in 2021, uniting the two for a dark yet wonderous journey through a harsh and magical world. ‘Bramble: The Mountain King’ draws on the powerful creatures and rich fables of Nordic mythology to spin a unique tale of one boy’s courage in the face of impossible dangers.
Revealing just one of the many sinister and hideous creatures lurking in the shadows, ‘Bramble Origins: The Näcken’ was showcased at the Future Games Show over the weekend, giving players their first glimpse at the many interwoven stories in the land of Bramble.
