Hetherington linked to new Project MyWorld owner
Report suggests RTW chairman part of mystery US firm
Realtime Worlds' chairman and chief strategy officer Ian Hetherington is said to be involved with the US firm that has bought Project MyWorld after the collapse of the Scottish developer.
According to a report by The Courier, Hetherington has not put up all the money to buy the in-development PC game, but is involved with the US company that has insisted on remaining anonymous since the purchase.
Project MyWorld remains in development in Dundee with a staff of just over 20 employees, and the game is expected to be released early next year.
Ian Hetherington was founder of Psygnosis, sold to Sony in 1993. He also founded MotorStorm developer Evolution Studios, again sold to Sony in 2007 for an estimated £16 million.
