Uitgever Electronic Arts heeft besloten om niet meer verder te gaan met de Project Cars-franchise.
Geen resources zullen meer gestoken worden in Project Cars-projecten. Iedereen die werkte aan Project Cars bij de ontwikkelhuis Slightly Mad Studios, wordt overgezet bij andere projecten.
EA is eigenaar van meerdere racegames waaronder Need for Speed, DIRT, GRID en de F1 series.
“Today we announced internally an update to our racing portfolio,” an EA spokesperson said to GamesIndustry.biz. “Following an evaluation of the next Project CARS title and its longer-term growth potential, we have made the decision to stop further development and investment for the franchise.”
“Decisions like these are very hard, but allow us to prioritize our focus in areas where we believe we have the strongest opportunity to create experiences that fans will love. We are focusing on our strengths in our racing portfolio, particularly licensed IP and open-world experiences, and expanding our franchises to be more socially-led with long-term live services that will engage global communities. We are working with everyone impacted by this decision to place them into suitable roles across our EA Sports and racing portfolio, as well as other parts of EA, wherever we can. Our priority now is on providing as much support as possible to our people through this transition.”
