Pivotal Games Limited was formed in March 2000 as part of a multi-product deal with publisher SCi. Since its inception, Pivotal Games has earned an excellent reputation for delivering unique, high quality video games and is recognised for its ability to hit deadlines.
Pivotal Games is renowned for developing action-packed team shooters with a strong tactical element. Every Pivotal release places an emphasis upon realistic combat, freedom of movement, switchable characters and the use of real-world tactics. Pivotal Games prides itself on avoiding the more traditional gun-and-run approach to the action-shooter genre, opting instead to encourage players to adopt a stealthier, more thoughtful approach to combat.
A total of four titles have now been released under the highly successful Conflict banner, amassing total sales of over 6 million units. Pivotal Games latest title, Conflict: Denied Ops, will be released worldwide in 2008 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
From an initial 15 staff, Pivotal Games has now grown to employ over 100 people. The depth of talent at Pivotal Games reflects the studios desire to constantly seek improvement in all areas of game development.
Today, Pivotal Games is a part of the Eidos group, one of the worlds leading publishers and developers of entertainment software.
