The current Digital Eclipse is actually the third incarnation of the company and the second to use the name. In 2003, the original Digital Eclipse merged with edutainment game developer ImaginEngine to create Backbone Entertainment, with Digital Eclipse's studios (which included a second studio in Vancouver) becoming Backbone Emeryville and Backbone Vancouver. Another subsidiary studio, Backbone Charlottetown (in the capital and largest city of Prince Edward Island), opened in February 2006 under the lead of Ayre, although he and several former Digital Eclipse employees later spun off that studio in May the following year to become Other Ocean Interactive. Backbone Vancouver was mostly dismantled in September 2008 before closing entirely in May 2009, and the majority of Backbone Emeryville were later laid off in October 2012. Other Ocean's parent company, Other Ocean Group, announced the reformation of Digital Eclipse as part of its Other Ocean Emeryville studio on June 8, 2015, with Ayre, original Digital Eclipse technical director Mike Mika, and former Gamasutra writer Frank Cifaldi being among the co-founders. With Digital Eclipse now focusing on video game preservation, Cifaldi has stated that the studio is aiming to become the video game equivalent of The Criterion Collection.
Digital Eclipse's modern ports and rereleases are notable for containing loads and loads of extras. See M2 for their Japanese equivalent.
