Beenox Inc. is a Canadian video game developer established in 2000 in Quebec City. The studio became a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision on May 25, 2005.[1]

History

Beenox was founded by Dominique Brown in May 2000 to develop games for Apple Computer's Mac. He recruited four colleagues from his former employer MegaToon.[2] The studio's name was based on a random word he wrote in a notebook in chemistry class when brainstorming company names that contained an "X".[3] It focused on game conversion to Mac in 2003, due to "cash flow problems".[4][5] The company was acquired by Activision in May 2005.

In 2007, they returned to original game development with the console versions of Bee Movie Game,[6][7] inspired by the feature film from DreamWorks Animation. As part of Activision's E3 2007 media blitz, it was announced that Beenox was the developer behind the Windows version of Activision's Spider-Man game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, which was released in October 2007.[8] They released the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Windows versions of Monsters vs. Aliens and the console versions of Guitar Hero Smash Hits. Beenox later developed the Spider-Man games Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions,[9] Spider-Man: Edge of Time,[10] The Amazing Spider-Man,[11] and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.[12]

After founder Dominique Brown's departure in December 2012,[13] the studio's focus shifted from leading original game development to doing a number of support tasks on Activision's superbrands Skylanders and Call of Duty. In 2015, Beenox worked in conjunction with Mercenary Technology on bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops III to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[14]

In March 2022, Beenox announced that it would open a second office in Montreal, Quebec, led by Nour Polloni, increasing its staff count by 20%.[15]
