The founders met in 1993 and decided to start a company together and in 1995 formed Akella. The company comprised five in-house development teams, a publishing house, a distribution center, a localisation team and a quality assurance department; in total, 250 people were employed by Akella. There were several sub-brands owned by Akella, such as Macho Studios, that developed erotic games and published Japanese hentai dating sims.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The company is named after a Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book character, Akela the wolf, and its logo is a wolf.

Defunct status

During 2012, the company was amid multiple lawsuits totalling ₽200,000,000<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> (roughly $6,000,000) which, combined with the significant developmental difficulties and commercial failings of Postal III, pushed Akella to the verge of bankruptcy. As a result, the company, while technically still existing, has effectively ceased operations since 2012.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
