London studio survives closure threat; ‘30 staff’ made redundant.
A protracted development process and mounting costs has resulted in the five-year WarDevil project face cancellation at the final stretch.
The game’s developer Ignition was expected to close its London offices, though the studio says it is fighting on.
Atomiqon writes, "There are always games that we wait for, sometimes for years, in eager anticipation before they are finally released to the masses. Occasionally, after delays and long periods of media black-outs, some games get lost in the shuffle never to resurface. Below is a collection of games that seemed to have promise and appeal but were ultimately cancelled or have not been heard from in a long time."
More after the break.
