Our Story
Three Decades of Gaming Excellence
Formed in 1995 by a tight-knit group of friends who made games, Avalanche Software has extensive experience in the gaming industry, always embodying a “fan-first” perspective in our approach to making games that perfectly capture the franchises we work with. Over the past three decades, we’ve worked with beloved entertainment giants, bringing games to life on numerous platforms. Our journey has been marked by growth and collaboration, pushing boundaries to deliver the best possible games for our players.
Avalanche’s versatility spans genres and platforms. From our early days working with the Mortal Kombat series, to the Avalanche original Tak and the Power of Juju, we’ve showcased adaptability and innovation, laying the foundation for our future successes within the gaming industry. This dedication to our craft remains unwavering with both veterans and newer members of the team alike.
As part of Disney Interactive from 2005 – 2016, our Avalanche team adapted several Disney properties into interactive experiences, culminating in the toys-to-life series Disney Infinity. This period marked a transformative collaboration, bringing Disney characters and worlds-including Marvel and Star Wars— to life in new and imaginative ways. Our focus continued to remain on letting our own passion reflect the passion of the fans.
Becoming a member of the Warner Bros. Games family in 2017, at Avalanche Software we began working on our most ambitious project yet – Hogwarts Legacy. As the #1 best-selling game of 2023 worldwide*, Hogwarts Legacy fulfilled the Wizarding World fantasy for players around the world. Hogwarts Legacy showcased the passion, collaboration, and a fan-first approach for our development team.
*Based on full game sales on console and PC worldwide.
