History

The studio was founded in 2011 by three game developers, Nenad Tomić, Uroš Banješević, and Aleksa Todorović. [2]

As the studio matured, it evolved into the creator of action-adventure and role-playing games, the first of which were Pagan: Absent Gods [3] and Scars Above .

In November 2020, Mad Head Games was acquired by Embracer Group through their subsidiary Saber Interactive, continuing to operate as an independent game developer, with continued leadership by its founders. [4]

In March 2024, amid financial difficulties, Embracer Group sold Saber Interactive and 20 Saber-branded studios, including Mad Head Games, to Beacon Interactive, owned by Saber Interactive's co-founder Matthew Karch. [5]
