Rebellion

Rebellion is an independent British multimedia entertainment company founded in Oxford in 1992 by Jason and Chris Kingsley. Best known for developing and publishing AAA video games, the company has expanded from its roots in interactive entertainment into comics, books, tabletop games, and film and television production while remaining privately held and founder-led.

Games are central to Rebellion’s work. Its portfolio includes the long-running Sniper Elite series, recognized for tactical stealth gameplay and sniper mechanics, alongside the Zombie Army series, Strange Brigade, Evil Genius 2: World Domination, Battlezone, and Rogue Trooper Redux. Recent releases include Atomfall, a survival-action game set in northern England. Rebellion also develops technology through its proprietary Asura Engine and supports multiplatform development across PC, console, virtual reality, and Nintendo Switch.
