In 2005, the humorous adventure gameAnkh was released, which was a remake of the 1997 game Ankh: The Tales of Mystery by Artex Software. As the product sold very well and won several awards (especially in Germany), the sequel Ankh: Heart of Osiris was produced and released almost exactly one year later, reusing elements of the previous title. In August 2007, the adventure game Jack Keane was released which was similar to the Ankh series in terms of graphics and gameplay but which was set in England and colonial India. The third part of the Ankh series, The Battle of the Gods, was released in Germany on 19 November 2007. One of their latest games, the role-playing game called Venetica was released in September 2009 and was the first RPG to be published by the company. Afterwards, Deck13 Interactive was working on Blood Knights, a comic hack-and-slash for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which was released in 2013.[6]
In 2015, Deck13 released Lords of the Fallen in co-operation with CI Games. While a sequel was announced by the publisher, Deck13 was not named as the developer.[7] Instead, the studio was announced to be working with Focus Home Interactive on the then-upcoming The Surge.[8] In September 2016, managing director Florian Stadlbauer announced that he had left the company and had since been replaced by Mathias Reichert.[9]
In June 2020, Focus Home Interactive acquired the company for €7.1 million.[10]
In February 2021, Deck13 opened a development studio in Montreal.[11]
The small team back then came up with the name Deck13, inspired by the Unreal Tournament Map Deck 16.
