Iron Lore Entertainment was a video game developer established in October 2000 by Brian Sullivan and Paul Chieffo.
History
In June 2006, Iron Lore launched Titan Quest, an action RPG published by THQ. The game featured settings inspired by the mythologies of ancient Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China. A subsequent expansion pack titled Titan Quest: Immortal Throne was released in March 2007.
The company received the New Studio award at the 7th annual Game Developers Choice Awards in recognition of its first game.
In October 2007, Iron Lore contributed to Relic Entertainment's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm, the concluding expansion for the Dawn of War series. This marked their final project.
Due to a failure to obtain funding for future developments, Iron Lore ceased operations on February 27, 2008.
Legacy
Following the studio's shutdown, former employees went on to establish Crate Entertainment.
