Kronos Digital Entertainment was an American video game developer, founded by Stan Liu in 1992. It developed original properties, beginning with the visually appealing [1] early 3D fighting games Criticom , Dark Rift and Cardinal Syn (called the "Trilogy of Terror" by one gaming journalist). [2]
Kronos gained greater critical and commercial success for its later Fear Effect series with Eidos, [2] and retained all rights to the franchise. [3] It was developing the third Fear installment, Fear Effect Inferno, when Eidos discontinued funding following a major budget restructuring. The developer then shopped the game around to other publishers before failing to secure a deal and finish it. [4] It dissolved soon after, finally releasing Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix . Outside of video games, they provided computer animation to Spider Man on Fox Kids.
