History
In 2010 they began working on an undisclosed title with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, revealed at the E3 2011 to be LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation Vita. In 2011 they joined the trade association TIGA.[2] Between 2011 and 2012, Double Eleven were contracted to work exclusively with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.[3] During this time, they opened an additional studio in Leeds, West Yorkshire.[4]
In 2013 they announced that they are working on a remake of Frozen Synapse[5] - originally by Mode 7 Games - for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3, entitled 'Frozen Synapse: Tactics'. After finishing PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate for PS4 and Vita in June 2014, development for FS: Tactics quickly took off and by September 5, 2014 it took on a new name of Frozen Synapse Prime along with a release date of September 24, 2014 for the PlayStation Vita. Two months later it was released on the PlayStation 3 and Windows.
In August 2014, at Gamescom 2014, it was announced that they were working on the next PixelJunk game, Nom Nom Galaxy for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita and Goat Simulator for Xbox One and Xbox 360. Goat Simulator was released in April 2015.
In February 2017, it was announced[6] that Shahid Ahmad, who had headed up PlayStation's strategic content division in the UK for many years, had joined the board of Double Eleven in an advisory capacity. "Shahid's role in elevating independent games as a whole to the mainstream audience is remarkable, so it's a great honor to have his guidance as Double Eleven continues to grow in the games space.” said COO, Mark South.
