Bossa Studios Limited is a British video game developer based in London. It is known for its comedic, physics-based games Surgeon Simulator and I Am Bread.
History
Bossa was founded in October 2010 by Henrique Olifiers (gamer-in-chief), Roberta Lucca (marketer-in-chief), Ric Moore (technologist-in-chief), and Imre Jele (creator-in-chief).[1][2][3] The establishment was formally announced in June 2011, when it had opened its office at the Silicon Roundabout in London, England.[3] Bossa was acquired by the television production company Shine Group in 2011, with the deal announced on 16 September, without disclosing terms.[1][4] At the time, Bossa had 20 employees, and its first game, Monstermind, launched that same month for the Facebook Platform.[1][4] Monstermind won the BAFTA award in the "Online – Browser" category in February 2012.[5]
Subsequent games by Bossa were Toy Run and Merlin: The Game, the latter based on the Shine-produced TV series Merlin.[6][7] Following the commercial success of Surgeon Simulator, Bossa underwent a management buyout process in July 2015 that returned Shine's stake (transferred to Endemol Shine UK after Shine merged with Endemol in December 2014) to the studio's founders.[8][9]
The company received a Шаблон:US$ investment in a series A round in September 2017.[10] Shortly thereafter, they hired former Valve writer Chet Faliszek to lead a new Seattle-based studio for them, working on an unannounced cooperative title.[11][12]
According to CNBC, Bossa acquired between Шаблон:US$ in another investment round in 2019, with NetEase as one of the largest investors in this series, gaining a minority stake in Bossa.[13]
In August 2022 some of Bossa Studios IPs including Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread, and I Am Fish was sold to TinyBuild for a reported $3 million.[14]
Bossa has previously announced layoffs in 2020[15][16] and in 2024.[17]
