REDJADE today announces the opening of its offices and business.
REDJADE was formed by former employees of CE Digital Illusions Canada
Inc, (DICE Canada) acclaimed development team and creators of numerous
titles in the Battlefield* game franchise. Located in London, Ontario
(Canada), REDJADE is dedicated to servicing the growing interactive
entertainment industry and will focus its efforts on supplying art
creation services for the PC as well as current and next generation
consoles.
REDJADE is led by Founder and CEO, Fredrik Liliegren,
an 18 year veteran of the Interactive Entertainment Industry having
previously held position of CEO of Digital Illusions CE AB. Under his
leadership, the organization grew from 4 to 48 employees and made its
initial public offering on the Swedish Stock Exchange (1998). Liliegren
then moved on to the previous incarnation of REDJADE Inc., based in
Palo Alto, California (US) where he held the position of CEO and CCO.
After securing $10M USD in initial funding, REDJADE rapidly expanded to
65 employees by the end of its first year. In 2001, Liliegren returned
to DICE as the Studio Manager of CE Digital Illusions Canada Inc (a
Canadian-based subsidiary of Digital Illusions CE AB) and has held this
role since.
"I am thrilled to officially open our doors for
business. We have a very talented team composed of seasoned veterans
who have worked on several high profile titles for globally recognized
game franchises," said Fredrik Liliegren, CEO of REDJADE Inc. "REDJADE
has strong opportunities for growth. This sector of the industry is
just now coming into limelight as the game industry is adapting and
seeking more flexible and efficient development processes. We're
confident that our creative approach and well established processes
will address a need in this industry."
