 For more than a decade, Disney Interactive Studios has enjoyed global success on a variety of video game platforms, including the personal computer, handheld video game platforms and video game consoles. Disney Interactive Studios has created best-selling video game products that have sold millions of units worldwide and continue to be successful franchises in the global marketplace. Developing and publishing a broad portfolio of video games that reach a variety of consumers continues to be a focus for the company.
The company's global strategy is to expand
its business by tapping into the diverse assets
of The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries, as well as to develop new content
with original video game intellectual property.
Disney Interactive Studios continues to create video games based
on content from the company's wealth of
popular Disney-branded books, television
shows, movies and special initiatives,
including ABC television, Disney Channel,
Walt Disney Pictures feature films, Disney*Pixar
films, Mickey Mouse and the Disney Princess
franchises. In addition to its robust portfolio of
self-published titles, the company selectively
licenses Disney intellectual property to other
video game publishers such as Square-Enix for
Kingdom Hearts, and THQ for Disney*Pixar films.
Disney Interactive Studios has assembled "centers of creative excellence" in all
major territories worldwide, to attract high-quality entertainment
content and top game design and development talent. Disney Interactive Studios's
internal game development studios include Avalanche Software,
based in Salt Lake City, and Propaganda Games, based in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
With more than 400 employees based in key markets around the world, Disney Interactive Studios self-publishes video games in North America, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
