Bodycount developer to close
Codemasters Guildford is set to shut its doors
Developer studio Codemasters Guildford is set to close within 30 days, it has been announced.
The developer recently released shooter Bodycount, as well as working on the Operation Flashpoint series for Codemasters. Both games didn't fare well with critics or in terms of sales, which likely pushed the decision forward.
“As Codemasters looks to take greater leadership in the racing category, the company is proposing a studio structure that adds resource and strengthens our best-in-class racing teams. The output from the studios on the Warwickshire campus and in Birmingham is on the increase with multiple continuing,” the company said in a statement.
Codemasters instead plans to focus its attention on its racing brands, like DiRT, Formula One and Grid in its studios at Warwickshire and Birmingham, with the Birmingham studio expanding to include a second team for a brand new racing IP.
