Kronos Digital Entertainment: History and Key Facts

Kronos Digital Entertainment was an American video game developer, founded by Stan Liu in 1992. It developed original properties, beginning with the visually appealing early 3D fighting games Criticom, Dark Rift and Cardinal Syn (called the "Trilogy of Terror" by one gaming journalist).

Kronos gained greater critical and commercial success for its later Fear Effect series with Eidos, and retained all rights to the franchise. It was developing the third Fear installment, Fear Effect Inferno, when Eidos discontinued funding following a major budget restructuring. The developer then shopped the game around to other publishers before failing to secure a deal and finish it. It dissolved soon after, finally releasing Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix. Outside of video games, they provided computer animation to Spider Man on Fox Kids.
