Southend Interactive
Sweden video game developer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southend Interactive was a Swedish video game developer based in Malmö and founded in 1998.[1] Southend worked on game productions from various genres that run from various clients, such as Ubisoft and Sierra Online. They also created games for Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service on the Xbox 360. The company slogan was "Tomorrow's experiences today".[2]
Southend closed in June 2013 when Ubisoft Massive acquired Southend's 24 developers and some technology[3] to be used in Massive's Tom Clancy's The Division, a massively multiplayer online game. Southend had been seeking a suitor and partially blamed its publisher Deep Silver for the company's closure.[4]
