'''Lionhead Studios''' is a United Kingdom-based computer game development company led by industry veteran Peter Molyneux, and acquired by [[Microsoft Game Studios]] in April [[2006]]. | |||
Lionhead started as a breakaway from the developer [[Bullfrog]], which was also founded by Molyneux. Lionhead's first game was [[Black & White]], a "god game" with elements of artificial life, strategy, and beat 'em up games. Black & White was published by [[Electronic Arts]] in [[2001]]. Lionhead Studios is named after Mark Webley's hamster, which passed away not long after the naming of the studio. | |||
Black and White was followed up with the release of an expansion pack named [[Black & White: Creature Isle]]. Lionhead then released the popular [[Fable]], from satellite developer [[Big Blue Box]]. In 2005, Lionhead released [[The Movies]] and [[Black & White 2]]. On [[April 6]], [[2006]], it was announced that Lionhead Studios was to be purchased by Microsoft to further bolster their range of [[Xbox 360]] games. | |||
The company is currently developing [[Fable 2]] for the Xbox 360, due to be released late in [[2008]]. | |||
