Est. 1996United States

Black Isle Studios, an Irvine-based division of Interplay Entertainment established in 1996, shaped the landscape of computer role-playing games through the development of the Fallout series and Planescape: Torment, while also publishing the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale franchises. Named after a Scottish isle reflecting founder Feargus Urquhart's heritage, the studio closed in 2003 during Interplay's financial downturn, but was revived in 2012 and continued its legacy with the 2021 release of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance remastered.
