TT Games Ltd. is a British holding company and a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The company was established in 2005 through the merger of developer Traveller's Tales and publisher Giant Interactive Entertainment, subsequently TT Games Publishing. Its other branches include developer TT Fusion, animation studio TT Animation and mobile games companies Playdemic. The company is known for the Lego video game series.
The title "TT Games" is often used collectively to describe the company and all of its divisions and subsidiaries.
Designer Jon Burton founded Traveller's Tales in 1989. He had worked with graphic artist Andy Ingram on a short game demo for the Commodore Amiga, and took it to publishing company Psygnosis for advice; unexpectedly, Psygnosis was impressed and offered to publish the game. As Traveller's Tales, Burton and Ingram completed the game, a hack and slash adventure titled Leander, which was released in 1991. Leander was a success and established Traveller's Tales as an up and coming British developer.
Subsequently, Psygnosis contracted Traveller's Tales for two games released in 1993: the side-scrolling puzzle game Puggsy and Bram Stoker's Dracula, a tie-in for the film of the same name. Dracula was a project for Sony, which was in the process of buying Psygnosis. The game enabled Traveller's Tales to expand the company and staff and allowed them to start developing games with bigger companies. In 1994, Traveller's Tales developed Mickey Mania for Disney, initiating a long relationship with the company; Disney later hired them to develop tie-in games for many of its properties. Starting in 1995, Sega contracted the company to develop two Sonic the Hedgehog games, Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island and Sonic R. Later projects included various film tie-ins, two Crash Bandicoot games, and originals such as the ambitious Haven: Call of the King.
