'''Frontier Developments''' is a British computer and video games development company. The company is based in Cambridge, England, and was originally founded by David Braben to develop [[Frontier: Elite II]], the sequel to the groundbreaking [[Elite]].


Frontier was released in [[1993]] to critical acclaim and commercial success, and a sequel, First Encounters, followed in [[1995]]. However, the game's publishers [[Gametek]] released an unfinished version of this game that contained many bugs, which lead to poor reviews and low sales. Frontier Developments subsequently initiated legal action against Gametek, which was eventually settled in [[1999]]. The company claims to be working on a new Elite sequel, under the working title Elite 4, but this has been in production since [[1998]] leading many observers to label the game vaporware.
