Iron Lore Entertainment shut down
Titan Quest developers seeking new opportunities
Iron Lore Entertainment, the studio behind Titan Quest and the upcoming Dawn of War expansion, has closed down according to a message on the studio's website.
"It is with great regret that we must announce that as of close of business Tuesday, February 19, 2008 Iron Lore Entertainment has ceased active game development," the statement read.
"Several unrelated events occurred which resulted in Iron Lore being unable to secure funding for its next project.
"We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who has helped us in the last seven years — our team who moved mountains to create such great games, our publisher THQ who has been a great partner through three product development cycles, and most of all our customers and fans.
"We owe all of the success weâve had to you, and our greatest satisfaction has come from creating games that have given enjoyment to the community."
The statement went on to say that Iron Lore is pursuing licensing opportunities for its own engine and tool set, and that the individuals behind the studio are available for other opportunities.
