About us
RAVEN SOFTWARE is the developer of numerous award-winning games, including significant contributions to the blockbuster Call of Duty series. Founded in 1990 by brothers Brian and Steve Raffel, Raven Software has gone from a five-person company with a dream of creating a role-playing game for the Amiga, to the developer of numerous award-winning games and best-selling titles, including Hexen, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and most recently being a major contributor to the Call of Duty® franchise. At Raven, we’ve built our company on expectations. An expectation to always design the games that define industry standards for graphics and playability. An expectation that award-winning games are the norm. But more than anything, a clear understanding of our market’s expectations: that being, for us to consistently produce the games that people want to play. In other words, exactly everything we’ve been doing since 1990.

Raven Software reposted this
We were thrilled to make another exciting connection this week, joining Chancellor Mnookin for an action-packed tour of the Raven Software headquarters in Middleton. Along with colleagues from the School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW-Madison CDIS, and Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, we had the pleasure of hearing the story of how Raven got its start from co-founder and UW–Madison alum Brian Raffel. We were amazed by the expanse of specialization in Raven’s work and delighted to learn more about the company's desire and efforts to strengthen connections to local education. Thanks to Brian Raffel, David Pellas, and all the members of Raven’s team (including many former Badgers!) for a wonderful visit – we look forward to growing our partnership!

Yesterday, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting representatives from School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW-Madison CDIS, and Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association at our studio! Co-founder Brian Raffel shared the story of how it all started, showcased the breadth of specialization that our industry has to offer, and emphasized our desire to strengthen our involvement with local education. A special thank you to Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin, Tom Erickson, Faisal Abdu'Allah, Meg Sensenbrenner, Crystal Potts, and John Garnetti for coming out to see what over three decades of homegrown game development looks like! We were also able to get a picture of our guests with our very own UW Madison alumni. 🎓

We want to extend heartfelt congratulations to our founder and Co-Studio head, Brian Raffel. Brian was recently inducted into In Business magazine's Business Leaders Hall of Fame. Brian and his brother, Steve Raffel, founded Raven Software with a burning desire to just create great games. Their impact in Madison, and on the games industry at large, has been far greater than they could have imagined. 33 years later, Madison has become a booming hub for the games industry, and it's continuing to grow! Congratulations Brian! What an excellent award to celebrate such an incredible career!
