ACE Team was founded by brothers Andres, Carlos and Edmundo Bordeu in either 1998 or 1999. The studio name was formed from the initials of the three founders. Initially, ACE Team developed
total conversions of older games, starting with
Batman Doom for
Doom II: Hell on Earth. Other total conversions included
ZanZan for
Doom II and
The Dark Conjunction for
Quake III Arena. For the latter, ACE Team hired a
programmer, Juan Pablo Lastra. However, the game proved too ambitious due to the team's insufficient size and experience.
Zeno Clash was first released on 21 April 2009, self-published by ACE Team for
Microsoft Windows. A sequel,
Zeno Clash 2, was announced shortly thereafter. Retail releases of
Zeno Clash came by hand of publishers
Tripwire Interactive and
Iceberg Interactive in February 2010 and March 2010, respectively. ACE Team co-operated with publisher
Atlus USA to release an
Xbox 360 port of the game with additional features, titled
Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, in 2010. ACE Team continued working with Atlus USA for their next game; originally referred to internally as
Boulder, Atlus USA christened that game
Rock of Ages and released it 2011. == Games developed ==
