TimeGate Studios was founded in 1998 by Alan and Adel Chaveleh, who respectively serve as chairman and president of the studio. Since its commencement, the company has worked with industry publishers such as Vivendi Games, Take 2, Atari, Ubisoft, and Gamecock.
TimeGate Studios reached critical and commercial success with its debut game, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns. The real-time strategy title won over 30 awards and was named “Strategy Game of the Year” in 2001 by Computer Gaming World, PC Gamer, and Computer Games Magazine.[1]
TimeGate Studios followed its debut title with Kohan: Ahriman’s Gift later that year. Shortly after, the company’s success with the Kohan franchise earned it a nomination for “Rookie Studio of the Year” from the IGDA in 2001.[1] TimeGate Studios pushed the Kohan series forward in September 2004 with the release of Kohan II: Kings of War, which was featured as a “Top 10 Game” in 2004 by Computer Games Magazine.[1]
In November 2004, TimeGate Studios and Atari released Axis & Allies, a real-time strategy game that let players battle against World War II’s superpowers.[1]
TimeGate Studios’ first foray into the realm of first-person shooters came in October 2006 with the release of F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, an expansion pack for Vivendi’s horror game F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Recon.) F.E.A.R. Extraction Point was named “Best Expansion Pack of 2006” by PC Gamer. TimeGate Studios further propelled the F.E.A.R. series on the PC with the release of F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate in November 2007. The company released F.E.A.R. Files, a combination of both expansion packs, for the Xbox 360 in November 2007 as well.[1]
TimeGate Studios is currently developing Section 8, a first-person shooter expected to be released in 2009. The company has also announced other next-generation, cross-platform projects in development, including a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game based on a new IP.[1]
