Disney Interactive has confirmed rumors of the last hours related to the downsizing of the staff developer Split / Second, Black Rock Studios. "Disney Interactive Studios confirms the reduction in staff of its internal studio based in Brighton, Black Rock Studios, the publisher said in a statement given to Edge.
Disney has not confirmed the extent of staff reductions, but, as stated in Videogame Source from an anonymous source, about 100 employees would risk dismissal of the study. "Disney has failed to deliver a project on which work and our concept has not been appreciated," said Source Videogame to a source who stated that the sequel to Split / Second is one of the projects canceled.
"After the launch of SS we started working on pre-production of SS2 but was canceled in December because of a change at the top of Disney Interactive, whose priorities (turn toward the freemium, etc.) did not provide for a new SS ".
