Bretton Wade

Developer BIO

Bretton joined Firaxis in 2005, bringing with him more than 10 years experience in games and computer graphics, and a focus on excellence.“My goal is to build on Firaxis’s tremendous success in game design and establish the company as a technical leader in the games industry as well,” Bretton said.

In his previous role as the Program Manager for Graphics System Software on Xbox 360, Bretton helped to define the way thousands of game developers build games for the next-gen console.
