Midway Games has confirmed reports that the developer behind Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War has been closed down. As reported last week, Stainless Steel Studios has been closed but Midway was quick to point out that Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War remains on schedule for a 2006 release. Reasons behind the closure are currently anyone's guess.
"Due to circumstances beyond Midway’s control, Stainless Steel Studios is no longer involved with the development of Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War," said Johner Riehl, senior media relations manager for Midway.
"Despite this unfortunate situation, Midway remains focused and determined to deliver a revolutionary real-time strategy experience with Rise and Fall, and will look to stay true to the title’s original development vision. Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War remains scheduled for release in 2006. Midway appreciates the patience and support of Rise and Fall fans and will provide updates on the game’s development and a more specific release date as soon as possible."
