Biography 

Roberts was born in California , but grew up in Manchester , England . He began developing video games at an early age, creating several of them for the BBC Micro in his late teens.

Origin Systems

Roberts returned to the United States in 1986. Shortly thereafter he was hired by Origin Systems, where he created Times of Lore , a 1988 game. The game’s interface had a strong influence on other Origin products such as the popular Ultima series. Roberts’ next game, Bad Blood , also used a similar gameplay system.

Wing Commander was published in 1990 and was received very positively by critics and the general public. Wing Commander (and the saga that grew out of it) quickly became Origin’s most successful product, even eclipsing the Ultima series . Roberts was also involved in the sequel, Wing Commander II , but not to the same level as the original game. Instead, he concentrated on producing Strike Commander . The project was first unveiled at CES in 1991, but after several delays, the game wasn’t released until 1993. He returned to the Wing Commander saga soon after, creating the original concept for the Wing Commander spin-off : privateer(which was produced by his brother, Erin Roberts) and was much more involved in the sequels Wing Commander III and Wing Commander IV . For these sequels, Roberts directed the cinematic action scenes.

Following Origin Systems traditions, Chris Roberts’s residence outside Austin , Texas , was named “Rancho del Comandante” (Commander’s Ranch), a reference to the Wing Commander series he had created. 1

Digital Anvil 

Roberts left Origin in 1996 and founded Digital Anvil with EA PC National Sales Manager Marten Gerald Davies, Origin producer Tony Zurovec, and his brother, Erin Roberts. ² The new studio was installed in Austin and worked in silence for several years, managing to sign a distribution agreement with Microsoft in 1997. 2

Robert had said that he wanted to produce movies as well as video games with Digital Anvil. In 1999, Digital Anvil handled the visual effects for the film Wing Commander, directed by Roberts himself. Nonetheless, the film ended up being a critical and financial flop.

Digital Anvil’s first game was Starlancer , which was received relatively well by critics in 2000. The game was developed externally by Warthog, but produced by the Roberts brothers and with only some contributions from Digital Anvil.

The company was bought by Microsoft, ² which shortly after sold two of Digital Anvil’s projects to Ubisoft. Roberts left the company after the acquisition, leaving the position of director of its ambitious Freelancer project , although he did stay in the game as a consultant for a while. ² The game was almost unanimously considered vaporware due to its promised 2001 release date. The game was eventually released in 2003 with markedly different features from the original plans, but was generally well received.

Point of No Return Entertainment/Ascendant Pictures 

After leaving Digital Anvil, Roberts founded Point of No Return Entertainment, with the intention of producing movies, television, and games. However, no projects materialized from Point of No Return. Roberts founded Ascendant Pictures in 2002 and was a producer on several Hollywood productions , including the 2004 adaptation of The Punisher , ³ ​The Jacket ⁴ ​, and Lord of War . 5

Cloud Imperium Games Corporation 

In 2011 Chris Roberts founded Cloud Imperium Games Co. ⁶ to work on a video game that will be the successor to titles previously created by him, such as Wing Commander and Freelancer . A promotional website for this new game was revealed on September 10, 2012, under the title of Roberts Space Industries. As of September 11, the site could be entered using the code “42”, which took the user to a page with a long note from Chris Roberts to his followers. It also allowed the user to create an account. Additionally, the site had a clock that counted down to 10 AM on October 10, 2012, the date on which Roberts announced his new game, Star Citizen .7
