Development
Fortress was originally announced in June 2000 as a PlayStation and Dreamcast game titled "Fortris" under development by Promethean Designs. In January 2001, Majesco acquired the game, then called "Fortres", along with nine other titles for the GBA. Development moved to Pipe Dream Interactive, Majesco's internal developer, and the final name change occurred the following month. Majesco announced in July 2001 that THQ would publish the game in PAL regions as part of an international deal.
