Ignition Shuts Down London Studio and All Internal Development

Another studio over the pond bites the dust this week, with Ignition closing down their London branch and ceasing development on all internal projects, including the PS3-exclusive WarDevil, which has seemingly been stuck in dev hell for the past few years.

To anyone who cares (or knows the game even exists, for that matter), WarDevil may still be outsourced to an external studio, but let’s not hold our breath.

“This week saw the pre-scheduled completion of a six-month proof of concept project on the WarDevil / Project Kane titles internally, which the board and studio management are currently evaluating as to whether the required quality will be achieved by completing internally or with an external partner,” Hassan Sadiq, group chairman at Ignition Entertainment, told GamesIndustry.biz.

WarDevil was the cover story for Edge Magazine in 2009, but little has been heard on the title since then.
