The studio was originally founded in a residential house in
Pittsburgh before moving to Boston with space provided by
Harmonix. In August 2013,
Looking Glass Studios co-founder Paul Neurath and
Three Rings Design founder Daniel James joined Demiurge. In February 2015, Demiurge was acquired by Japan-based company
Sega and became part of their
mobile gaming subsidiary, Sega Networks. On April 2, 2020, Sega sold Demiurge Studios back to its co-founder and chairman Albert Reed, and Geoffrey Hyatt with plans to return to support work for AAA game studios. On August 18, 2021, the company was acquired by Sweden-based
Embracer Group and became a subsidiary of
Saber Interactive. In March 2024, Embracer sold off Saber and many of its studios. However, Demiurge remains under Embracer. == Games ==
