Autumn Games is an American video game publisher based in New York City. The company was founded by Alex Collmer and Jason Donnell in 2007[1] with institutional sponsorship from Communications Equity Associates and Autumn Entertainment Partners.[2]
The company's first video game was Def Jam Rapstar,[3] which was nominated for awards in the annual Spike Video Game Awards.[4] The game was co-published by Autumn Games and Konami Digital Entertainment. Def Jam Rapstar was the result of a several-year publishing arrangement between Autumn Games and 4mm Games.[1]
In November 2011, the company released their second game, developed by Isopod Labs. The game was a collaboration with Jimmie Johnson named Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine.
Autumn Games had a publishing partnership with Famous Games.[5]
Autumn Games partnered with Reverge Labs to publish the 2D fighting game Skullgirls.[6] Skullgirls released on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in April 2012. The game was later released in Japan on the PlayStation Network in February 2013.
