Overview
The company was established as Headgate Studios in California in 1992 by
Vance Cook. Headgate was entirely focused on golf simulations with
Front Page Sports: Golf,
PGA Championship Golf '99 and
PGA Championship Golf 2000. In April 1996 the studio was acquired by
Sierra.
In 2000 Headgate Studios teamed up with
Electronic Arts to further develop the
Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise. They developed the Windows versions of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 up to 2006.
In November 2006 the company was acquired by Electronic Arts and renamed
EA Salt Lake. EA miscalculated the success of the Wii and when this became apparent, they immediately turned their Salt Lake studio exclusively to Wii development. The studio has since released casual-oriented games for the EA Play label such as
NERF: N-Strike (2008) and the sequel
NERF: N-Strike - Elite (2009), as well as the
Littlest Pet Shop franchise - all under license of
Hasbro.
On 21st July 2010 a new office was officially opened in the heart of Salt Lake City. Previously the team worked out of Bountiful, Utah.
