The company was formed as a development group within
In April 2002,
Atari announced that throughout April 2011, they had laid off over 51 of the 80 employees working at the studio, leading to a majority of the employees going on strike.[2] In April 2012, Eden began negotiations as an attempt to separate from Atari.[3] On 29 January 2013 the studio filed for judicial liquidation.[4]
On 31 October 2013, under the impulsion of former employees and with the financing of ID Invest and Monster Capital, Eden Games reopened as an independent game development studio without any involvement of Atari. The company then released its first game, GT Spirit, on Apple TV in December 2015. The game was later followed up with Gear.Club and two Nintendo Switch versions - Gear.Club Unlimited and Gear.Club Unlimited 2.
From 2017 to 2021, the company was a subsidiary of Engine Media.[5]
In April 2022, Eden Games were acquired by the Hong Kong-based blockchain gaming company, Animoca Brands.[5] According to Animoca, the Eden team will be integrated into their business and work on blockchain-based racing games and contribute to Animoca's existing titles build around its REVV crypto token.[5]
