Full name: Warthog PLC
Established: Apr 1997
Website:

Warthog was founded in April 1997 when a group of ex-Electronic Arts people came together with a vision to build the best development-only studio in the business. With the technical foundations firmly set through the creation of a state-of-the-art gaming engine, the team secured a contract from Digital Anvil/Microsoft to develop Starlancer for the PC.

Hailed as the best space adventure of its generation, Starlancer paved the way for Warthog to establish a dedicated Playstation development team. Contracts to develop a Star Trek title for Activision quickly followed and the company is now working on a wide range of titles for publishers such as Infogrames, New Kid Co., Activision, Actualise, Psygnosis/Sony and Swing/Conspiracy.

The founding philosophy of creating a pure development studio is still firmly in place and the dedication to quality, professionalism and the usse of the very best technology that has already carried Warthog such a long way, remains rock solid.
