History

[edit]

The Game Bakers were formed in 2010 by two former employees of Ubisoft, who worked on AAA licenses,[2] Emeric Thoa and Audrey Leprince.[3] The idea was to "make games as we cook: with a lot of love."[4] The Game Bakers started by developing games for mobile devices and then decided to focus on consoles and computers games.[5] In 2016, they released Furi.
