Trecision S.p.A. was an Italian video game developer established in 1991 by Pietro Montelatici, Fabrizio Lagorio, and Edoardo Gervino, with its headquarters located in Rapallo, within the province of Genoa.

Their initial release was Profezia, available on Amiga and PC platforms. Subsequently, they launched various titles across multiple systems such as Amiga, MS-DOS, PC, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and mobile devices. Through a publishing agreement with the UK-based company ICE, Trecision produced the adventure games Alien Virus and Ark of Time. Due to dissatisfaction with ICE's financial arrangements, Trecision transitioned to working with Team17 on Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy, which was originally conceived as a follow-up to Alien Virus but later redesigned with a cyberpunk aesthetic. This change resulted in licensing conflicts with ICE regarding the game's concept.

In March 2000, Trecision broadened its operations by acquiring two Italian studios, Pixelstorm Games and MotherBrain Entertainment, thereby becoming the largest game developer in Italy.

At the time Cryo Interactive declared bankruptcy in 2002, Trecision was engaged in developing two projects for them. This event precipitated Trecision’s decision to enter voluntary liquidation in mid-2003, citing Cryo's bankruptcy as the primary cause of its shutdown.
