History

The company was founded by Michael Hayward, Tony Beckwith, Ian Saunter and one other sometime in 1988.

In 1993, Steve Grand begins developing a project based on artificial life.

In November 1994, Cyberlife is set up to build products around Steve Grand's concepts of artificial life. By November of 1996, there are 10 people in this department.

On July 4 1997, the Millennium development studio, along with several of the projects in development, is sold to Sony Computer Entertainment and renamed to SCE Cambridge Studio.

This allowed Sony to acquire MediEvil.
