Climax Solent

Climax was the first and main development division of The Climax Group, with work dating back as far as 1996. The company originally worked under the name Climax and in 1999 the entire office was moved to Fareham. As the company then expanded with more divisions, the name Climax Fareham was soon introduced for all work done at that location.

On 1st July 2002, the business relocated to the Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth and was renamed Climax Solent. The division has been responsible for the development of Sudeki and Serious Sam: Next Encounter, and took over development of Silent Hill: 0rigins in 2007 when Climax LA closed down.

In November 2004, the company became part of the Climax Action brand. By the summer of 2006, the main company stated that it wanted to change Climax into a one location, one studio developer with a single management team and this was achieved by early 2007 when most of the team moved on to the Portsmouth. By January 2008, the Kingston office where Climax London and Climax Handheld Games used to be housed, was closed. Climax Solent then returned to the state it was in almost ten years before: the single operating development division of the Climax Group, but now operating as Climax Action.
