3	Playdead is a Danish indie game studio based out of Copenhagen, founded by two developers: Arnt Jensen and Dino Patti in 2006.

5	After securing government grants, Jensen created a teaser for what would eventually become ''VideoGame/{{Limbo\|2010}}'', with the explicit purpose to attract more help for the project. This eventually led to Jensen partnering with Patti, and the two of them approaching investors to found the company and begin development proper. Almost immediately after ''Limbo''[='=]s release, work began on their next project: ''VideoGame/{{INSIDE\|2016}}''. Both games were released to critical acclaim.

9	Playdead had eight employees at the start of ''Limbo''[='=]s development; by the end, they had sixteen, including contractors. As of 2018, they have forty.

11	Playdead's third game is currently in development, but no details are known outside of it being a sci-fi game possibly in third-person 3D as opposed to their previous 2D games.

13	By June 2017, Patti and film animator Chris Olsen founded a UK-based studio, Jumpship. A trailer for the studio's first game, ''VideoGame/{{Somerville}}'', was revealed in 2021. The game was released the following year.
