History
In 2010, the company assembled a development team to begin work on their first title, Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded. The work done on the fan project that became the officially licensed remake of Duke Nukem 3D led to Interceptor being contracted to work on titles for multiple platforms including PC, XBLA, PSN and iOS.
In September 2011, after Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded was halted, Apogee Software contacted Interceptor Entertainment and the two companies conversed over the following months. In that time, the idea and contract for rebooting Rise of the Triad was made a reality and production started shortly afterwards. Development of their first major project, a remake of Rise of the Triad began in early 2012 and the game was released in July 2013.
In September and October 2013, Interceptor Entertainment moved its headquarters from Herning to Aalborg. The Interceptor virtual team had roughly 35 employees spread across 10 countries and several employees based at their headquarters in Aalborg. On March 3, 2014 it was announced that Interceptor Entertainment's part-owner Mike Nielsen's company SDN Invest had bought 3D Realms.
Interceptor began work on a game called Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction. However, due to a lawsuit by Gearbox Software, the game's name was changed to Bombshell. The game was released on January 29, 2016.
On September 6, 2016, Interceptor and 3D Realms announced Rad Rodgers, an action platformer game running on Unreal Engine 4 and starring the title character and his console-come-to-life friend Dusty (voiced by Jon St. John). The game was inspired by 1990s-era platformers. The studio started a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with an aim of $50,000. The studio raised $81,861 in 30 days. The game is scheduled to release in February 2017.
However on Mar 7 2017, An update to backers was uploaded called "The Future of Rad Rodgers" explaining that the company would move studios and change the name of the company with in the next couple months.
