They worked in tandem with developer
FASA Interactive to create their first two games
MechAssault, which
Microsoft used to promote their
Xbox Live service, and
MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf. They worked with
Monolith Productions to make the
Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 console ports of
F.E.A.R.. In 2006, they signed a deal with
LucasArts to develop the
science fiction video game
Fracture. It had mixed reviews from the gaming press. In 2010,
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that they would be developing the third instalment in the
F.E.A.R. franchise entitled
F.E.A.R. 3, first announced using the title
F.3.A.R., which was later confirmed as just for advertising. When their subsequent project with Konami was canceled, however, around 100 employees (the vast majority of the team working on that project) were laid off. The remaining team members moved forward with development on the free-to-play mech game
Reign of Thunder. On January 29, 2013, it was announced that
Wargaming, the creator of
World of Tanks, acquired Day 1 Studios for $20 million and rebranded it Wargaming West. The acquisition included the rights to
Reign of Thunder, with it since having been put aside, and subsequently canceled. == Games developed ==
