Circle Studio was a video game developer located in Derby, United Kingdom. [1]

Contents

The company was formed and staffed in October 2003 by a group of former employees at Core Design, a studio owned by Eidos Interactive. The founders of the new company, brothers Jeremy Heath-Smith and Adrian Smith, [1] had a managerial role in the Tomb Raider series, which was Core Design's best known creation.

In 2005, Circle Studio finished working on a title called Without Warning , a third-person shooter for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. [1] It was published by Capcom. The game was generally poorly received, and after releasing it, Circle Studio transitioned to developing and publishing licensed DVD games, [2] with distribution handled by Pinnacle Vision.

Despite having secured a 7-figure investment from the Royal Bank of Scotland in May 2006, the company was liquidated in February 2007. [3]
