About

Playlogic Entertainment was a Netherlands-based video game company that developed and published titles for consoles, PC, and handhelds. The company developed the shoot 'em up Xyanide and its sequel Xyanide Resurrection, while also publishing titles such as ObsCure II, Dragon Hunters, Pool Hall Pro, Vertigo, and Aliens in the Attic.
Established in 2002, the company built its portfolio by securing international distribution partnerships and acquiring licenses for popular media properties. The shoot 'em up Xyanide (2006) showcased the internal development team's technical capabilities on the Xbox, utilizing pre-rendered 3D backgrounds. Its follow-up, Xyanide Resurrection (2007), transitioned the series to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, introducing cooperative multiplayer modes.
In the publishing sector, the company expanded its reach by distributing Hydravision Entertainment's survival horror sequel ObsCure II (2007), which offered cooperative gameplay on platforms like the Wii and PC. Licensed adaptations became a core business strategy, leading to the release of Dragon Hunters (2008) for the Nintendo DS, based on the French animated franchise, and Aliens in the Attic (2009), a multi-platform tie-in for the 20th Century Fox feature film. Concurrently, the publisher targeted casual gaming markets with the motion-controlled sports title Pool Hall Pro (2009) and the physics-based puzzle game Vertigo (2009). Financial instability eventually led to the closure of the internal studio and subsequent bankruptcy filings in 2010, ending the active lifecycle of these diverse software franchises.
