Jerry Bruckheimer Games shuts down

Jerry Bruckheimer Games, the game development studio of film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, has shut down. A Bruckheimer Films representative told GameSpot that the studio was "no longer active". The rep followed that statement with a further confirmation that Jerry Bruckheimer Games was "no longer a functioning entity."

The studio was founded in late 2007 as a partnership between Bruckheimer and MTV Games. Bruckheimer Games was intended to create multiple new IP, hiring Ubisoft senior vice president Jay Cohen and Microsoft executive producer Jim Veevaert to steer production. Veevaert joined Zynga in March of 2012 as the general manager of the Seattle branch, while Jay Cohen remains chairman of The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences.
