Asobo Studio SARL is a French video game development company based in Bordeaux, France, that was founded in 2002 by 12 experienced video game developers. The studio has developed 17 video games for both consoles and PC, including video game adaptations of Pixar movies: Toy Story 3, Ratatouille, Up and WALL-E. In 2016, Asobo Studio announced 2 games for HoloLens and became the first independent developer in Holographic Entertainment.
In 2002, 12 video game enthusiasts, including Sebastian Wloch and David Dedeine, decided to team up: they bought the rights to the multiplayer PS2 game Super Farm and founded Asobo Studio. This very first game was published in 2003 by Ignition.
During the following years, the studio developed several games for various platforms (the studio has PC, MAC, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 development experience), until being chosen by publisher THQ to create the video game adaptation of Pixar Animation Studios Oscar-winning motion picture Ratatouille.
Thus Asobo started increasing its growth speed, recruiting about 20% new employees a year, leading to two separate production lines.
Since the collaboration with THQ and Pixar has turned to be a success, Asobo was selected to develop the video game adaptation of Pixar's following films WALL•E and Up.
During the 2008 Games Convention, the video game publisher Codemasters announced Fuel, a brand new racing game developed by Asobo Studio. Fuel was released in 2009 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC.
