Production
Dominion was originally being developed by 7th Level before they sold the unfinished property to Ion Storm in September 1997. It was eventually released as Ion Storm's debut title in June of the next year. According to some former Ion Storm employees, the game title had originally been intended to be bought only to "burn" one of the 6 game "options" that Ion Storm had contracted with Eidos as part of a royalty deal, and only on the basis that it was an almost complete game that would be easy to finish. However, the costs of completing it turned out to be much higher than expected, and the game sold very badly.
