Curve Digital (developing as Curve Studios and porting as Carbon) is a British video game development and video game publishing company established in 2005. As well as developing a number of their own games, Curve have also ported some titles to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.[1][2][3]

History

In 2013 Curve Digital announced that they would begin publishing games as well as developing them.[4] During the porting of Stealth Bastard to PlayStation 3 and Vita, Curve Studios asked fans to rename the game for them in order to remove the profanity, choosing Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark as the new title.[5]

Curve Digital have published titles - either developed in-house or by external partners - on a range of platforms including; PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

In August 2013 Curve announced an upcoming project titled White Space.[6]

In early 2016, Curve Digital was acquired by The Catalis Group and merged with their own development branch Kuju to form the publishing entity Curve Digital Entertainment.[7]
