Midway Studios San Diego: History and Key Facts

Midway Studios San Diego was an American video game company formed on June 5, 1987 as Leland Corporation, from the assets of Cinematronics. It was a subsidiary of arcade and home game producer Tradewest, which acquired those assets out of the former company’s bankruptcy. After 1992, the company moved to development of home games to be published by Tradewest and other companies like Williams under the name Leland Interactive Media. In 1994, when WMS Industries acquired Tradewest, Leland was absorbed into their internal development, which was then renamed to Midway Studios San Diego in 1997. Warner Bros. Games, through their acquisition of Midway Games, owns the rights to Leland Corporation/Midway San Diego's games until 2009. In 2009, it was sold to THQ and renamed to THQ San Diego.
