History
Taleworlds Entertainment was founded by Arma?an Yavuz, who studied Computer Engineering in Bilkent University. The idea of being a company became a reality after gamers provided huge support to a hobby project called Mount & Blade, while it was still in its beta stage. The company started to sell e-copies of the beta version of the game online, which funded the development of their first game via the online-sales income.
Publishing their first game in 2008, Taleworlds Entertainment managed to sell over one million copies of the game throughout the world, and reported over three million dollars in revenue. The company developed their second game Mount & Blade: Warband as a sequel.
In 2012, a small European game studio, Flying Squirrel Entertainment, released the first expansion pack for Mount & Blade: Warband, called Napoleonic Wars, featuring the last years of the Napoleonic Wars in the engine of the original game.
In 2014 Taleworlds released Mount & Blade: Warband on Nvidia Shield, and for the first time, Taleworlds Entertainment published a game on a platform other than the PC.
