CreativeForge Games was founded in Warsaw on 21 November 2011 by Jakub Rozenek and Łukasz Żarnowiecki under an investment agreement with the publisher PlayWay.

[5][6] CreativeForge continued working with Gambitious (later renamed Good Shepherd Entertainment) on its Phantom Doctrine, a turn-based tactics game set in an alternate history 1983 Cold War setting that was released in August 2018.

[9] However, the game was met with a poor critical reception and had a low sales performance, as a result of which Żarnowiecki resigned as chief executive officer (CEO) of the company and was interim-replaced by former lead designer Kacper Szymczak in October 2018.

[3][11] In light of the announcement of these resignations, CreativeForge's share value on the NewConnect stock exchange fell by roughly 12%.

[10] Some former CreativeForge employees established the studio Artificer, which was majority-acquired by Good Shepherd in April 2019.
