The company's first title was Armies of Exigo , developed with the financial backing of Andy Vajna, published by Electronic Arts and released in the end of 2004. The team has developed Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and Warhammer: Battle March , an expansion for Mark of Chaos, which were released on November 14, 2006 and September 16, 2008, respectively, for the PC. Warhammer: Battle March was also released for the Xbox 360 game console on September 2, 2008.

Black Hole developed the sixth installment of the Heroes of Might and Magic series, Might & Magic Heroes VI , in collaboration with Ubisoft. The title was released in October 2011, postponed from its original launch date of March. The studio was reported in various media [1] [2] to have gone bankrupt as a result of the nature of this development, and members of the company blamed Ubisoft for the mistake.
