Developer Black Rock To Close Down
Disney Interactive has confirmed that the Split/Second developers Black Rock Studios will be closing down.
A couple of months ago the studio laid off half of their employees but remained committed to developing games. Here's a statement from Disney Interactive;
“Disney Interactive Studios confirms that Black Rock Studios’ current project has not been greenlit for further development, consequently the company informed employees yesterday of the intent to enter a consultation process on the proposal to close the studios.”
Disney is said to be outsourcing the games that Black Rock was working on before the announcement of the closure came down. Here's hoping those put out of work land on their feet.
