**StormRegion** was a Hungarian [video game developer](/source/Video_game_developer) best known for the games *[Rush for Berlin](/source/Rush_for_Berlin)* and *[Codename: Panzers](/source/Codename:_Panzers)*. They also have built their own game engine called Gepard with tools. In 2007, StormRegion was acquired by the German company 10tacle Studios AG. After a financially unstable 10tacle Studios AG ceased to pay salaries in April 2008, StormRegion lost its employees and was forced to close its Budapest office.[2]

In 2006, StormRegion initiated a lawsuit against [Mithis Entertainment](/source/Mithis_Entertainment), claiming that former StormRegion developers who quit the company and joined Mithis have stolen sourcecode from the StormRegion engine.[3][4]

The name "Stormregion" is an approximate translation of the Hungarian term "[viharsarok](https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viharsarok)" ("storm corner"), a historical name for the south-east (e.g. [Békés county](/source/B%C3%A9k%C3%A9s_county)) of Hungary.

In 2015, former employees Péter Bajusz and Attila Bánki-Horváth (developers of *[S.W.I.N.E.](/source/S.W.I.N.E.)*) founded a new company called Kite Games.
