History
The company's debut title, Stoked, was launched for the Xbox 360 platform in 2009. Following this, Bongfish created Harms Way in 2010, collaborating with Microsoft Studios. In 2012, they developed Red Bull Crashed Ice Kinect for Xbox 360, a project completed for both Red Bull Media House and Microsoft Studios. The studio continued to produce Xbox 360 games, releasing Motocross Madness in 2013.
A strategic partnership with Wargaming was formed in 2015, focusing on co-developing gameplay elements and content for the MMO World of Tanks and its Frontline mode. The following year, Bongfish joined forces with Flashman Games LLC to obtain the license for creating Smurfs' Village, a social mobile game inspired by the Smurfs franchise.
In 2019, Bongfish launched Blackshark.ai, a division dedicated to geospatial data analysis and spatial computing technologies. Blackshark.ai achieved notable acclaim in 2020 by producing comprehensive global surface data for the Microsoft Flight Simulator, utilizing imagery sourced from Bing.
