Pitbull Syndicate

Pitbull Syndicate

The Pitbull Syndicate was formed in December 1996 by an ensemble of programmers and artists with extensive experience in the video games industry. The company started with a small office in Sunderland and an initial headcount of only 8 people, working on PC and Playstation games. Slowly expanding, the company moved to larger offices in Chester-Le-Street and later to even larger offices in Gateshead. By 2005, this had swelled to over 60 people working on PC, Playstation 2 and Xbox. In October 2005, the company sold to Midway_Games.
