About Raven

Raven Software is a market-leading and award-winning video game developer based in Middleton, Wisconsin. Since its inception in 1990, Raven's core has always been centered on visual excellence and exciting gameplay. With this focus, Raven has established a stability that few in the ever-changing video game industry have been able to achieve. As new technologies and trends continue to develop, Raven remains dedicated to surpassing new levels of quality in electronic gaming.

Founded in 1990 by brothers Brian and Steve Raffel, Raven Software has gone from a five-person company with a dream of creating a role-playing game for the Amiga, to the developer of groundbreaking titles like X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE and SINGULARITY. Since its inception, Raven Software has developed some of the most critically acclaimed games on the market.

In 1997, Raven Software joined forces with  Activision Blizzard Incorporated (Nasdaq: ATVI) in a union that merged Activision Blizzard's proven publishing and distribution resources with Raven's first-class development team. Since that time, Raven and Activision Blizzard have leveraged important strategic relationships with market leaders like id Software to produce many of the most recognizable and award-winning games on the market.

Today, Raven Software continues to define the market by developing the most ambitious real-world and science-fiction action games for the PC and next-generation gaming consoles.
