Guerrilla Games is a video game developer and a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The developer is best known for the Killzone and Horizon game series.
History[]
Originally named Lost Boys Games, Guerrilla Games was created as a result of a merger of three independent Dutch developers, and operated as a subsidiary of Dutch multimedia conglomerate Lost Boys.
In 2003, Lost Boys Games was sold to Media Republic and in July of the same year was renamed Guerilla Games. Under Media Republic, Guerilla began to working on Killzone and Shellshock: Name '67 in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment and Eidos Interactive. Due to Killzone's success, in 2004, Guerrilla signed an exclusive development agreement with their Killzone collaborators Sony Computer Entertainment.
In December 2005, Sony Computer Entertainment acquired Guerrilla from Media Republic, with the developer becoming a wholly own studio of the publisher. [2] In 2006, Guerrilla released their first portable game, Killzone: Liberation. Proving that Guerrilla's quality was increasing game by game, SCE instantly put them in development of Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3 before the console was even released. After a long wait, Killzone 2 was released in February 2009 to critical acclaim. Killzone 3 was released on February 22, 2011 to positive reviews, though slightly less so than Killzone 2. The latest in the series, Killzone Shadow Fall, was released in 2012 as a PlayStation 4 launch game.
