Matrix Games is a publisher of PC games, specifically strategy games and wargames. It is based in Ohio, US, and Surrey, UK.[1]

Their focus is primarily but not exclusively on wargames and turn-based strategy. The product line-up also includes space sims (Starshatter: The Gathering Storm), sports management sims (Maximum-Football), and real-time strategy titles (Close Combat: Cross of Iron).

Matrix Games publishes games from a variety of developers, including SSG, 2by3 Games, Panther Games, Koios Works, Destroyer Studios, Western-Civilization and AGEOD.

History

[edit]

Matrix Games was founded by David Heath and Shaun Wallace in 1999 in Staten Island, New York City. As of January 2010, Matrix Games has published over 75 titles. Matrix has in-house artists, programmers, and producers which all take active roles in projects of smaller wargame developers who lack the resources to hire full-time staff otherwise.

In May 2010, Matrix Games and Slitherine announced a merger of the two companies making it the largest wargaming specialist publisher.[2] Matrix Games also publishes wargames for the US defense industry.
