BottleRocket Entertainment was a third-party video game developer founded in 2002 by Jay Beard and Steve Beverly (previously head of San Diego Studio and employer of EA Canada, respectively), composed primarily of former San Diego Studio employees and animators. Many of them worked on The Mark of Kri before the studio was formed.
BottleRocket Entertainment was developing Splatterhouse, a beat'em up title in the Splatterhouse franchise by Namco Bandai, but was removed from the project after an unspecified "performance issue" caused a split. Several former BottleRocket employees accepted new positions within Namco Bandai continuing their work on the title.[1]
BottleRocket Entertainment was reported to be developing a licensed title for Brash Entertainment, which was cancelled when Brash went out of business. A source in Kotaku revealed the game to be DC Comics character The Flash. Footage of the cancelled title was posted on YouTube by a former employee of BottleRocket Entertainment.
Jay Beard announced in an email to Kotaku that, "after fighting to keep the doors open for the past six months we have decided to close and move on."[2] The company was officially closed on September 3, 2009, and Beard is reported to be "building a new development studio from the ground up while Beverly returned to his hometown, Vancouver, British Columbia, to join Next Level Games in early 2010 to late 2019. "[2] Beard currently works as an art director for Amazon Game Studios.
