Guerrilla Games is a first-party video game developer founded in 2000 from the spin-off of Lost Boys Games, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands and is wholly owned by Sony through Sony Interactive Entertainment. It currently employs approximately 270 individuals, and is headed by managing director Hermen Hulst.
The developer is best known for its Killzone series, which is exclusive to PlayStation. The most recent game in the series, Killzone Shadow Fall, was first released in North America on 15 November 2013. On 18 August 2010 during a press briefing at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, managing director Hermen Hulst confirmed that Guerrilla Games' next title would be an all-new intellectual property, making it Guerrilla's first game not based on the Killzone series since Shellshock: Nam '67. The game was officially announced at Sony's E3 2015 press conference as Horizon Zero Dawn. It also uses its proprietary game engine, Decima, for its game development.
Prior to its acquisition by Sony Computer Entertainment, Guerrilla Games was a subsidiary of the large Dutch multimedia conglomerate Lost Boys, and operated under the moniker Lost Boys Games. The developer was formed as a result of a merger between three separate Dutch-based developers, including Orange Games, founded by Arjan Brussee, and Digital Infinity, founded by Arnout van der Kamp. Over the next three and a half years, Lost Boys Games would release four titles, two each for Nintendo's Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance handheld gaming consoles.
