Smoking Gun Interactive

About

A game studio focused on delivering high quality titles with some of the biggest brands & IP for Mobile, PC & Console.

Smoking Gun Interactive (SGI) is an industry leading independent game development studio focused on creating revolutionary gaming experiences. It was founded in 2007 by the award winning industry veterans and creative forces behind Company of Heroes. Since that time SGI has developed a wide range of games- from original IP, AAA game concepts, to mobile apps, console titles, and even immersive online experiences.

SGI launched its first original IP “Exoriare”, an immersive trans-media experience, in 2009. This groundbreaking venture was delivered through an online graphic novel, penned by award winning author Douglas Rushkoff, alongside an alternate reality game (ARG). The ARG concluded with a live radio broadcast from the moon that required the online community to collaborate with HAM radio operators to intercept.

In 2010, SGI worked closely with Microsoft to co-develop and deliver game content and technological experiences for the Kinect sensor, and the introduction of Xbox SmartGlass. SGI was able to collaborate with another world leader, NASA, to bring the Mars Rover Landing to the Xbox 360 in 2012. A year later SGI released its 2nd IP Freefall Racers for Xbox 360 and Doodle Jump Adventures for 3DS.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, in 2014 the talented team transformed a classic strategy IP: Age of Empires into a successful mobile and tablet game with Age of Empires®: Castle Siege. The title has consistently been one of the top grossing apps in the Windows Store since launch, and was recently released on iOS with great success. AoE: Castle Siege was built in Smoking Gun’s proprietary Caliber Engine that supports cross platform iOS, Android, PC, and Console development.
