Slipgate Ironworks ApS (formerlyInterceptor Entertainment ApS andSlipgate Studios ApS) is a Danishvideo game developer based inAalborg, founded in 2010 by Frederik Schreiber.
Interceptor Entertainment was founded in 2010 bymanaging director Frederik Schreiber, at the time based inHerning.[2] The company's first project wasDuke Nukem 3D: Reloaded, a fan remake ofDuke Nukem 3D announced in October 2010 but put on hold in September 2011.[3] In February 2014, Interceptor teased a new game titledDuke Nukem: Mass Destruction. In response,Gearbox Software, the owners of theDuke Nukem trademark, filed a lawsuit against the company. The game's name was changed toBombshell by May.[4] In March 2014, Interceptor part-owner SDN Invest acquired3D Realms.[5]
In September 2016, Interceptor and 3D Realms announcedRad Rodgers, a platform game running onUnreal Engine 4 and starring the title character and his console-come-to-life friend Dusty (voiced byJon St. John). The studio started aKickstarter crowdfunding campaign with an aim of $50,000, raising a total of $81,861 within 30 days.[6] In March 2017, Interceptor announced that it was restructuring, expecting to assume a new name within the following months.[7] The studio rebranded as Slipgate Studios and sold theRad Rodgersintellectual property off toTHQ Nordic.[8] To avoid confusion with an eponymous company based inLas Vegas, Slipgate Studios changed its name to Slipgate Ironworks, the name of a defunct company formerly run byJohn Romero, in March 2019.[9]
In August 2021,Saber Interactive acquired the studio as part ofEmbracer Group.[10] In December 2023, "at least half" of Slipgate and 3D Realms was laid off as part of Embracer's restructuring.[11] Layoffs continued into January 2024.[12] In March 2024, Saber was sold to Beacon Interactive, a new company from Saber co-founder Matthew Karch. Many of Saber's studios, including Slipgate, were included in the sale.[13]
