Fireshine Games Acquires Danish Necesse Developer Fair Games

Enad Global 7 announced on October 7, 2026, that its wholly owned subsidiary Fireshine Games has acquired Fair Games ApS, the Aarhus-based indie studio that develops and owns the survival-crafting PC game Necesse. The transaction carries an upfront payment of $4.0 million plus further performance-based consideration.

EG7 said the deal adds an established title to Fireshine’s portfolio and strengthens its position in the survival-crafting genre.

Deal Terms

The consideration consists of an upfront payment of $4.0 million, together with additional consideration of up to $2 million based on content and platform releases. A further performance-based earn-out corresponding to 10–20 percent of net revenue after deduction of cost for services sold may also be payable, subject to the achievement of certain targets. EG7 said the transaction will be funded through the Group’s available cash.

Necesse Sales and Gameplay

Necesse launched on Steam in December 2019. According to EG7, the game has sold approximately 2.5 million units to date, generated approximately $14.4 million in gross revenue since launch, and holds a user rating of 93 percent on Steam. In a release issued through GamesPress, Fireshine described that rating as Very Positive and said the game has amassed approximately 2.5 million players.

EG7 describes Necesse as a survival-crafting game in which players explore, build settlements, gather resources, craft equipment and defend their growing communities against a range of threats, combining exploration, building, automation and progression in a persistent world. Fireshine’s description points to an infinite, procedurally generated world with single-player and co-op gameplay, tasking players with establishing a settlement while exploring deep dungeons, mining rare ores, crafting magical equipment, fighting monsters and recruiting specialists.

Studio Continuity and Fireshine’s Plans

Fair Games is a Danish indie studio consisting of eight employees and two freelancers and is debt-free, according to EG7. The studio will continue to operate from Aarhus, with founder and CEO Mads Skovgaard remaining as managing director and continuing operations with the existing development team.

“This is a defining moment for Fair Games,” Skovgaard said in the GamesPress release. “Necesse has been looking for a partner for a long time, and Fireshine feels like the perfect fit. Fireshine Games has harnessed success with its unique, strategic approach to game support via its talented team, and with the broad reach and resources that Fireshine Games will bring, we look forward to seeing the increased footprint and support of Necesse for fans around the world for years to come.”

In the EG7 announcement, Skovgaard said the studio had been seeking a long-term partner and that joining Fireshine brings publishing capabilities intended to support Necesse’s continued growth.

Necesse joins a Fireshine digital portfolio that EG7 said has built a strong position in the survival-crafting genre through titles including Core Keeper, Len’s Island, Voyagers of Nera and Dawn of Defiance, alongside upcoming title Isle Goblin.

“Necesse is a perfect addition to Fireshine Games’ portfolio and a natural fit with our experience in survival-crafting games,” said Brian Foote, CEO of Fireshine. “The game has already built a strong and engaged player community, and we’re looking forward to helping it reach even more players as we work closely with the Fair Games team to build on what they have created over the years.”

Fireshine said it sees opportunities to further develop Necesse through additional platforms as well as geographical expansion, and EG7 said the title is expected to provide long-tail revenue potential through continued content updates and further development of the franchise. In its GamesPress release, Fireshine confirmed plans to add long-tail support to the PC title and to develop Necesse for additional platforms.

Fireshine’s 2026 releases include the Early Access co-op shooter Far Far West, which Fireshine said has sold approximately 1.5 million units on Steam, and the action indie Denshattack!, which it said holds an 88 percent Metacritic rating with more than 300,000 players and four Gamescom Award nominations: Best Gameplay, Best Audio, Most Entertaining and Best Switch 2 Game.

Fair Games will be consolidated in EG7’s financial reporting as of October 7, 2026, and EG7 said it expects the acquisition to contribute positively to the group’s performance as Necesse is further developed.
