Sierra Entertainment, Inc., a studio of Vivendi Games, is one of the earliest developers and largest worldwide publishers of interactive entertainment software. Based in Bellevue, Washington, Sierra has released critically acclaimed and award-winning titles that represent a wide variety of computer entertainment on game consoles and PC platforms. Sierra Entertainment features a portfolio of titles based on original intellectual property and popular licenses from industry-leading content partners.
The story of Sierra Entertainment began in the late 1970s, when Ken and Roberta Williams created Mystery House, the world's first graphic/text adventure game. Ken and Roberta ran Sierra On-Line (originally On-Line Systems) until January of 1999, when Sierra and its affiliates were acquired by Havas, S.A. (which later became Vivendi Games.) Sierra On-Line was renamed Sierra Entertainment in late 2001.
The Sierra name was used off and on for several years in various ways until December of 2007, when Vivendi Games and publisher Activision merged to form the joint company Activision Blizzard.
