Trauma Studios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trauma Studios was an American computer game developer company founded in 2003. They were most known for having created Desert Combat, the most successful mod of Battlefield 1942.
On September 1, 2004, Digital Illusions CE bought Trauma Studios. Since then, they had been collaborating on creating the first-person shooter Battlefield 2, follow-up to Battlefield 1942. On June 7, 2005, Digital Illusions announced that they would shut down Trauma Studios.
In January, 2006, the team behind Trauma Studios were hired by well-known publisher THQ to create a new internal development studio known as Kaos Studios. Their first game, Frontlines: Fuel of War, is expected in 2007.
