Lionhead Studios, one of the world's most innovative videogame developers, was founded in 1997 and is based in Guildford, Great Britain. Lionhead Studios has produced a variety of top franchises including Black & White, The Movies and Fable.
Lionhead Studios describes itself as having fostered a unique new model in videogame development, allowing games to be developed in a creative, family style environment, whilst having a higher output of releases than the average development house.
Lionhead was formed by its studio head, Peter Molyneux. Previously, Molyneux had founded Bullfrog Productions in 1987, which he sold in 1995. In early 1997 he announced he was leaving Bullfrog to set up a new venture with three other likeminded individuals. Mark Webley, a colleague from Bullfrog who had headed up Bullfrog's highly efficient conversions department before producing, designing and programming the top selling Theme Hospital. Two other directors also joined Lionhead, Steve Jackson who had co founded Games Workshop and had a great deal of success with the Fighting Fantasy series of books and Tim Rance one of the Cities most highly regarded systems analysts.
In late March 2001 Lionhead's first game Black & White was released to widespread critical acclaim and over two million in sales. Autumn 2004 saw the release of Lionhead's second game Fable for Xbox. The company went on to produce Black & White 2 and The Movies as an independent studio.
On April 6, 2006 the company was acquired by Microsoft Game Studios in order to further expand Microsoft's diverse and innovative portfolio of games as well as bolster Lionhead's creativity and stability.
