History

After the first three plays on Microcomputer S, the company was made known general public with the first episode of the series Blood Omen: Blood Omen: Legacy off Kain, on Playstation.

In 2000, Silicon Knights became a developer second-party of Nintendo. The company was to develop plays " matures" for the Nintendo 64. Its first project for Nintendo was Eternal Darkness, finally transferred on GameCube. In 2003, Silicon Knights collaborated with Konami for the development of Metal Solid GEAR: The Twin Snake on GameCube. In 2005, Silicon Knights romput its franchise agreement with Nintendo and signed an new agreement with Microsoft Game Studios. The Nipponese company however always has shares in the capital of the company.

Productions

Plays under development

  • Too Human (with the departure envisaged on PlayStation 1 in 1998, then deferred on GameCube, the play should finally leave during 2007 on Xbox360)
  • a play of action in collaboration with Sega (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)
  • a continuation of Eternal Darkness

Besides Denis Dyack with recently confirmed that one following Eternal Darkness was envisaged, it would wish to make a trilogy. No platform was still announced but it would be logical that the play left on Nintendo Wii because the license in itself belongs at Nintendo.
