Kronos Digital Entertainment was an American video game developer, founded by Stan Liu in 1992. It developed original properties, beginning with the visually appealing[1] early 3D fighting games Criticom, Dark Rift and Cardinal Syn (called the "Trilogy of Terror" by one gaming journalist).[2]
Kronos gained greater critical and commercial success for its later Fear Effect series with Eidos,[2] and retained all rights to the franchise.[3] It was developing the third Fear installment, Fear Effect Inferno, when Eidos discontinued funding following a major budget restructuring. The developer then shopped the game around to other publishers before failing to secure a deal and finish it.[4] It dissolved soon after, finally releasing Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix. Outside of video games, they provided computer animation to Spider Man on Fox Kids.
