Twin Suns Corp. is a global video game studio developing action games for consoles and PC. The company works to foster a collaborative and independent spirit, with a supportive attitude towards the company's development teams developing what the company suggests will be better games. The founders of Twin Suns Corp., Forest Swartout Large, Jeffrey Morris, and Timothy Longo Jr., are all industry veterans, with work on the Hitman 3, Gears of War franchise, and the Halo franchise, respectively, amongst them.
The company has sought out developers and other team members with respective experience working on franchises including Star Wars, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Halo, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament, and Avengers, in order to work towards development of a AAA cross-platform title intended to launch a new intellectual property (IP) franchise.
The company received initial funding from Hiro Capital, which usually funds Series-A and Series-B companies with teams further along in their maturity. However, in speaking about their funding of Twin Suns, Hiro's co-founding partner, Ian Livingstone, said:
We will never ignore an opportunity in a start-up, which is not really a start-up. Here is an opportunity to invest in a team of accomplished veterans, and leverage their decades of experience in recognition in a market that is still growing, which is AAA games.
Ian Livingstone and Timothy Longo Jr. have also previously worked together on the Tomb Raider franchise.
