Description

Petroglyph Games Inc. is a video game development studio based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The company was formed by a group of former Westwood Studios employees who had resigned when Electronic Arts merged Westwood Studios into EA Los Angeles in 2003. Other former Westwood employees initially accepted EA's relocation offer, but eventually returned to Las Vegas to work with Petroglyph. Coincidentally, the old Westwood Studios building is not that far away from the current Petroglyph building.

Petroglyph is primarily known for their strong experience in RTS game development. The company's founding members have worked on seminal and influential games in the genre, most notably Command & Conquer and Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, which affected Petroglyph's focus on strategy games.

After announcing a partnership with the publishing studio True Games Interactive in April 2008, the action RPG title Mytheon was revealed in December of the same year, ultimately releasing in 2015.

As its own company, Petroglyph is best known for Star Wars: Empire at War, Universe at War: Earth Assault, Grey Goo, the 8-Bit Armies series and Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection. From 2010 to 2013, they were developing an MMORTS (later MOBA) titled End of Nations for Trion Worlds, which was put "on hold" by the publisher and was never resumed.
