History
Guerrilla Games, then named Lost Boys Games, used to operate as a subsidiary of Dutch media conglomerate Lost Boys. It was created as a result of a merger of three independent Dutch developers, including Digital Infinity and Orange Games.
In 2003, Lost Boys Games was sold to Media Republic, a new company launched by one of the founders of Lost Boys, Michiel Mol, and in July of the same year was renamed Guerilla Games. Under Media Republic, Guerilla began to working on Killzone and Shellshock: Name '67 in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment and Eidos Interactive, respectively. Killzone would go on to garner relatively mixed reception, but nonetheless sell over a million copies. Due to the title's success, in 2004, Guerrilla signed an exclusive development agreement with their Killzone collaborators Sony Computer Entertainment.
The developer gained major public intention in May 2005, following the release of a pre-rendered Kilzone 2 trailer; the hype and skepticism surrounding the game's unveiling has resulted in Guerilla's status as a principal developer within Sony Computer Entertainment. In December of the same year, Sony Computer Entertainment acquired Guerrilla from its then parent company Media Republic, with the developer becoming a wholly own studio of the publisher.
On 15 June 2015, during E3 2015 Sony's press conference, Guerrilla's new intellectual property Horizon: Zero Dawn was announced. A vast departure from the Killzone series, Horizon: Zero Dawn is a third-person role-playing game released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 in 2017.[2][3]
