SBEntertainment, also known as SBE, is a multinational (Japanese-American-British-Venezuelan-Omani-German) gaming and literature company. Founded by LP and based in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The company was founded back in 2014, when LP started writing his first novel; Earth Warriors. It was received to critical acclaim, later founding it's literary division; SBE Tandem. Later, he went on to reunite with a team of German and British game developers to create their first game division: SBE Electronics, their first game being Man's Era, which, according to many, received widespread acclaim for its innovative gameplay and unique story. It was at that moment that SBE would become one of the most interesting working companies in ages, given its focus in gaming and literature (And their recurring adaptations.)
The company is famous for their franchises: Earth Warriors, Rumbles to Death, Eternal Slayers and The Last Haven in from SBE Tandem and Talon's Chest, Man's Era, Crusader of the Wills and Arms of the Souls for SBE Electronics. Some of the games are known to be also co-developed by other companies like Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, stemming from LP making good relationships with them.
