Fox Interactive (also known as 20th Century Fox Games) is a video game publisher and developer mainly concerned with titles based on 20th Century Fox properties, such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, the Alien and Predator film franchises, ID4: The Game, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files and the Die Hard series of films. They have also been involved with original titles, including Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and No One Lives Forever. The company was formed on December 1994, with 20th Century Fox Games being established in 2006. Its first video game was The Pagemaster. Fox Interactive became a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard in 2009. However, Fox Interactive continued to operate as a division of Activision Blizzard, just as Fox Interactive's website was redirected to Fox Broadcasting Company's website.
