4. Wales Interactive
Video games developer and publisher | Established in 2012
Wales Interactive is a multi-award winning video games/interactive movie developer and publisher that prides itself in being an unshackled independent business making its own ideas exclusively from its studio in Wales. This includes all writing, design, programming, art, music, marketing and publishing its own games. As well as making its own titles, it has evolved into a video games and interactive movie publishing label collaborating with some of the most talented games developers and film makers across the globe to help bring their original creations to new platforms. Over the last 12 months, it has set out to expand its games label further by partnering with both UK and International third-party developers to bring a variety of entertaining games to PC, PlayStation and Xbox One as well as establishing its label on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. To propel its objectives, it has developed a strategy to become the driving force behind the ‘rebirth’ of the interactive movie genre, reinventing the popular point-and-click adventures and turning a niche genre into mainstream gaming with titles featuring high production values and blurring the lines between film and video games.
