History
XGen Studios was founded by Skye Boyes in 2001. After the success of XGen's early browser-based games, Skye dropped out of his computing sciences program, incorporated the company, and began to accumulate staff.
In 2007, XGen Studios announced that they had obtained a license to develop for Nintendo's Wii system, and intended to develop a WiiWare title.
It was revealed in 2008 that Defend Your Castle would be part of Nintendo's WiiWare launch line up.
In 2011, XGen Studios announced that they would take Amanita Design's Machinarium to WiiWare. The project was eventually cancelled as of November, 2011 due to the WiiWare platform's game size limit.
In 2012, the company was listed as one of Alberta's "25 Most Innovative Organizations" by Alberta Venture magazine.
In 2013, Sony announced that Super Motherload would be a Day 1 title for the PlayStation 4.
In 2014, XGen Studios successfully secured the competitive Canada Media Fund 2014-2015 Experimental Stream support for The Low Road.
In 2015, Skye Boyes, XGen's CEO & founder passed away. The XGen team continued with production of The Low Road. Boyes' wife, Kaelyn Boyes, assumed leadership and ownership of XGen Studios.
