KAIKO GmbH is a video game development studio with a history of activity dating back to 1991. The firm's founders maintain direct, hands-on involvement in project development, leveraging over three decades of collective experience in the field.
The company's core competencies lie in programming and game design, having contributed to titles across a range of platforms including Amiga, Playstation, Sega Saturn, PS2, and Wii. Historically, its role has often focused on lead programming for specific platform versions of games.
In 2021, KAIKO GmbH was integrated into the THQ Nordic Group. This strategic move positions the studio to work on established franchises within the THQ Nordic portfolio. The business model appears to be that of a development partner or subsidiary, contributing specialized technical and design expertise to larger projects under the umbrella of its parent company.
