## History

RedLynx was founded by brothers Atte and Antti Ilvessuo on 17 August 2000.[3] They had also founded the video game developer WAH-Software earlier.[4] RedLynx started as a small independent game development studio, focusing on mobile and browser games. In the 2000s, RedLynx developed games for Nokia mobile phones, including N-Gage titles like Pathway to Glory, High Seize and Reset Generation.[5] The company originally operated under the name Punainen Ilves Laboratoriot (lit. Red Lynx Laboratories), but it was renamed RedLynx on 3 June 2004.[2] RedLynx was acquired by French video game publisher Ubisoft on 2 November 2011.[6][7]

After its acquisition by Ubisoft, the studio released several entries in the Trials franchise, including Trials Evolution, Trials Fusion, and Trials Rising, while providing development support for other Ubisoft titles like Star Wars Outlaws. In October 2025, Ubisoft announced it would lay off up to 60 employees and refocus the studio on developing mobile games.[8]
