About Us

Headquartered in Austin, TX, UTV Ignition Games is a global publisher and developer of online, social, console, and mobile games. Our portfolio includes titles such as El Shaddai, Mercury, Deadly Premonition, Faxion Online and more. UTV Ignition Games also has offices in Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo.

UTV Ignition Games is a consolidation of two solid game brands, UTV Ignition Entertainment and UTV True Games. By consolidating the two divisions, UTV Ignition Games will use its strength to bring a strong portfolio of high-quality, innovative entertainment products that create and foster a community of fellow gamers that can interact across a wide variety of platforms and game genres.

UTV True Games was founded in January 2008. The first order of business for delivering a high-quality player experience was to partner with a world-class developer. Its recent line of MMOG products include Mytheon and Faxion Online, with titles such as Planet Crashers and Sky Legends coming in late 2011.

Ignition was founded in 2002.  In 2007 it received major investment from UTV Software, a diversified conglomerate based in Mumbai, India and listed on the Mumbai and London stock exchanges.  UTV has Walt Disney as its major shareholder, which current owns 60% of its common stock.
