Climax Solent
Overview
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.
