Autumn Games is an American video game publisher based in New York City. The company was founded by Alex Collmer and Jason Donnell in 2007[1] with institutional sponsorship from Communications Equity Associates and Autumn Entertainment Partners.[2]

The company's first video game was Def Jam Rapstar.[3] In December 2010, the game was nominated for awards in two categories of the annual Spike Video Game Awards for Best Music Game and Best Soundtrack.[4] The game was co-published by Autumn Games and the Japanese publisher, Konami Digital Entertainment. The game was the result of a several-year publishing arrangement between Autumn Games and the New York-based games studio, 4mm Games, which was founded by two of the original founders of Rockstar Games.[1] Def Jam Rapstar is owned by 4mm Games and was developed by 4mm Games, Terminal Reality, and Def Jam Interactive.[5]

The company's second game was released in November 2011 and was developed by Isopod Labs in conjunction with 5-time reigning champion of NASCAR, Jimmie Johnson,[6] who in 2011, was named Forbes' No. 1 most influential athlete.[7] The game is called Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine.[8] On November 25, 2011, Jimmie Johnson appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to announce the game's first downloadable character, a James Bond inspired Jimmy Fallon character,[9] from which a portion of the download proceeds would be donated to the American Red Cross.

The company also has a publishing partnership with the former head of LucasArts and former head of worldwide studios for THQ, Jack Sorensen.[10]

Autumn Games also partnered with Los Angeles-based developer, Reverge Labs to publish the 2-D fighting game Skullgirls.[11] Skullgirls was released on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network on April 10, 2012 and April 11, 2012, respectively.
