LEGO Media International Limited was a British publishing company that was part of the LEGO Group. It published media, primarily video games, under several different names: first LEGO Media, then LEGO Software, and finally LEGO Interactive. It was shut down in 2003 and people from it formed Giant Interactive Entertainment, which later merged into Traveller's Tales.
History
LEGO Media International was established in 1996 in London.[1]: 7
On 10 February 1999 LEGO Media announced four new titles: LEGO Racers, LEGO Friends, LEGO Rock Raiders, and LEGOLAND. Racers and Rock Raiders were to be the first LEGO titles for PlayStation, and Racers the first (and only) title for Nintendo 64.[2] In May 1999 LEGO Media presented the four new titles at E3 1999 in Los Angeles.[3][4]
In December 2001 Electronic Arts signed an agreement with the LEGO Group to co-publish video games with LEGO Software. Electronic Arts would also provide marketing and support for over thirty LEGO Software titles for the next three years to promote LEGO games to older audiences. The agreement included titles from the Bionicle, LEGO Island, and LEGO Racers series, as well as LEGO Sports, Galidor, and the unreleased Academy of Flight.[5]
