Circle Studio was a video game developer located in Derby, United Kingdom.[1]
The company was formed and staffed in October 2003 by a group of former employees at Core Design, a studio owned by Eidos Interactive. The founders of the new company, brothers Jeremy Heath-Smith and Adrian Smith,[1] had a managerial role in the Tomb Raider series, which was Core Design's best known creation.
In 2005, Circle Studio finished working on a title called Without Warning, a third-person shooter for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.[1] It was published by Capcom. The game was generally poorly received, and after releasing it, Circle Studio transitioned to developing and publishing licensed DVD games,[2] with distribution handled by Pinnacle Vision.
Despite having secured a 7 figure investment from the Royal Bank of Scotland in May 2006 the company was liquidated in February 2007.[3]
