Black Friday – Disney Studios is Closing Black Rock Studios.
Based in Brighton UK. Black Rock the racing studio, bought from Climax back in 2006 is to close, making 40 people redundant. This is a shocker for the UK gaming industry.
A statement from Disney reads:
“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.”
It’s a sad day for UK gaming companies.
