Blitz Games Studios celebrates its 20th anniversary in style
LEAMINGTONS SPA, UK., On Friday 9th July Blitz staffers gathered together to celebrate the company's anniversary with a big birthday bash. There was some tough competition between the 1990 themed costumes, with Natalie Griffith, Head of PR and Marketing winning the show as Mario.
It's now 20 years since Blitz was formed as Interactive Studios in 1990. From humble beginnings creating the Dizzy franchise in the mid 80s, the Oliver Twins have transformed Blitz into one of the most stable and respected independent development studios in the world.
Blitz today is well known for its family games (Blitz Games) including the SpongeBob, Karaoke Revolution and The Biggest Loser franchises. Its other divisions encompass mature AAA titles (Volatile Games), Serious Games (TruSim) and internal training and external development of the next generation of game developers (Blitz Academy).
A slew of new indie-developed titles through the Studios' Blitz 1UP label (within the Blitz Arcade short-session division) will also be released throughout 2010. The Studio's devotion to technological innovation means its licensable middleware engine, BlitzTech is on the cutting edge of new console capabilities and has provided the bedrock for the company's wide range of games, including titles released across all console generations and the world's first Stereoscopic 3D console title - Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao.
