Beenox is a video game developer, well established in Quebec City, Canada. Founded in 2000 by Dominique Brown, the studio became a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision in 2005.[1] Two years later, Beenox announced that the company expects to triple its workforce over the next two years, creating more than 200 new positions in the Quebec area by 2009. Additionally, Activision announced that Beenox will begin a pilot quality assurance program in Quebec City.
Between 2002 and 2006, Beenox was essentially a porting house. As a matter of fact, Beenox completed more than 30 projects for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, based on popular franchises such as X-Men, Spider-Man and Shrek. In 2006, Beenox returned to original game development, with Bee Movie Game, inspired by the upcoming feature film from DreamWorks Animation. As part of Activision's E3 2007 media blitz it was announced that Beenox would be the developer behind the Windows version of Activision's upcoming Spider-man game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe set for release Fall 2007.
