History
Curve Studios was the successor to Blue52, who released the games Stolen and Peter Pan: The Legend of Never Land before shutting down, with the core team migrating to what would become Curve Studios after the development of the former.[2] They would then form close relationships with Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo in their early years, developing instalments in the Buzz! series for the former and creating Fluidity for the latter.
In 2013, Curve Studios announced that they would begin publishing games, marking their transition to a video game publisher of indie games.[3]
In January 2016, Curve Digital was acquired by Catalis Group.[4] Catalis was then sold to NorthEdge Capital in October 2019.[5] In March 2019, Curve Digital purchased Brighton-based Runner Duck, who had previously developed Space Crew for Curve Digital.[6] In November 2020, Curve Digital acquired Vancouver-based IronOak Games, who had previously developed For the King with Curve Digital.[7]
The company rebranded itself to Curve Games in October 2021 as part of their commitment to better support developers.[8]
In May 2025, Curve Games and its studios were acquired by Indian company Nazara Technologies from Catalis Group.[9]
