History

Spiders was created in 2008 by former Monte Cristo developers who had worked together the previous year on the game Silverfall. Wanting to stay together after the completion of this game, some developers team up to found Spiders. Jehanne Rousseau is the director.[3]

In addition to its role as service provider to other developers, in particular by porting games to Xbox 360, the studio has specialized in a specific genre, namely role-playing games.[3]

In July 2019, French publisher Bigben Interactive, now known as Nacon, announced that they had acquired Spiders.[4]

Game engine

All Spiders games are produced and developed using the company's own modified version of Sony's PhyreEngine, called the "Silk Engine". It includes most of the features of its parent engine, and is modified to add its own unique features.[5]
