Fortitude Games

Fortitude Games was a British video game development studio based in Guildford, Surrey. Established in 2017 by Mediatonic co-founders David Bailey and Paul Croft, it operated as an incubator and sister studio developing original intellectual property.

Its work centred on early-stage game concepts, adventure prototypes and casual narrative-driven projects. The studio also provided co-development support for internal Mediatonic and Tonic Games projects. Two internal titles were reported in development in 2020, but no standalone commercial games were published under the Fortitude Games developer banner before its operations ended.

In June 2020, Fortitude became part of the newly formed Tonic Games Group alongside Mediatonic and publisher The Irregular Corporation. Epic Games acquired the group in March 2021. Following the acquisition, the group's production pipelines increasingly supported Fall Guys and wider Epic initiatives; this does not establish a specific Fortitude credit on those projects.

Fortitude ceased active software development during 2022. Its development hardware and leasehold improvements were disposed of, and personnel either moved into Mediatonic or Epic Games or departed. The registered company subsequently remained within Epic's UK corporate structure as a dormant, non-trading subsidiary. Its historical development activity is therefore distinct from the continuing legal existence of the company.
