**Trecision S.p.A.** was an Italian [video game developer](/source/Video_game_developer) founded in 1991[1] by Pietro Montelatici, Fabrizio Lagorio and Edoardo Gervino. The company's headquarters was in [Rapallo](/source/Rapallo) ([province of Genoa](/source/Province_of_Genoa)).

Their first game was *[Profezia](/source/Profezia)* developed for [Amiga](/source/Amiga) and [PC](/source/Personal_computer), followed by a number of titles for different platforms (Amiga, [MS-DOS](/source/MS-DOS), PC, [PlayStation](/source/PlayStation), [PlayStation 2](/source/PlayStation_2), and [mobile phones](/source/Mobile_phone)). Via a publishing agreement with English company ICE, they developed two adventure games, [Alien Virus](/source/Alien_Virus) and [Ark of Time](/source/Ark_of_Time) but, unhappy with the economic treatment, they decided to switch publisher for [Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy](/source/Nightlong:_Union_City_Conspiracy), releasing it with [Team 17](/source/Team17). The adventure was originally designed to be a sequel to [Alien Virus](/source/Alien_Virus), then Trecision modified it with a different cyberpunk theme. This caused a few issues with ICE since, apparently, they worked on the original concept of the game and thought they owned the license to publish it.[2]

In March 2000, Trecision acquired fellow Italian game developer Pixelstorm Games and MotherBrain Entertainment becoming the largest game developer in Italy.[1][3]

Trecision was working on two games for [Cryo Interactive](/source/Cryo_Interactive) when that company declared [bankruptcy](/source/Bankruptcy) in 2002. Consequently, Trecision filed for voluntary liquidation in mid-2003.[4] Trecision accredited Cryo's closure with its own bankruptcy.[5]
