Frontier and its founder, David Braben have a long association with Chris Sawyer going back to 1987, when Chris first worked on the PC version of Frontier’s title “Virus”. This began a long friendship, with Chris working on conversions of Frontier’s games, and more recently vice-versa. Following the work on add-on packs for Chris’s RCT 2, it seemed logical for Frontier to take the game into full 3D, as this is a field in which Frontier excels.

Within Frontier is an enormous amount of award-winning experience of game design, art and technology, with many firsts to its name, starting with the first 3D game “Elite”, which Mr. Braben co-wrote back in the early 1980s.

Frontier has for many years used its own cutting-edge 3D game engine on both PC and console titles. The company has a strong track record of creating both innovative 'own-IP' games and original high-quality titles that give a faithful treatment of existing brands. Frontier employs approximately 60 people, and has offices in Cambridge and Ely in the UK. The company's most recent two console games gathered three prestigious BAFTA (The British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nominations between them ("Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo" on PlayStation®2, Xbox, GameCube and PC, based on Aardman Animations Ltd.'s multiple Oscar®-winning duo; and the novel, award-winning “Dog’s Life” published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on PlayStation®2).
