Yager Development GmbH was founded in 1999 by five friends from East Berlin: Timo Ullmann, Uwe Beneke, Roman Golka, Philipp Schellbach and Mathias Wiese.
[2] Ullmann and others had previously worked at the Babelsberg developer company Terra Tools, from which Yager and Radon Labs emerged.
At the same time, Yager Development was named "Best Studio" in Germany[7] and Spec Ops: The Line won numerous international awards.
[16] In January 2024, Yager carried out a significant rebranding of the studio, announcing not only a new logo, website, and corporate identity, but also a completely new communication strategy.
[17] As part of this communication, Yager's past and current co-development projects with other studios were also announced, including with Funcom on Dune: Awakening[18] and with Sharkmob on Exoborne.
