Speaking with Videogaming247.com, Massive Entertainment's Martin Walfisz confirmed that the recent Activision Vivendi merger has left the Sweden-based game developer on the chopping block, along with the publishing rights to their upcoming World in Conflict: Soviet Assault expansion. Here's a little snippet from the article:
"Being a part of a merger like this is a strange situation, because obviously the new organisation has to look over all of its assets, everything it owns and its strategy for the future. For the past six month’s we’ve been waiting for the merger to go through and to understand whether they see us as a part of their future or not.
"Apparently they didn’t want an RTS studio in Europe, and to be honest we would have loved to have worked with Activision, but we’re pretty confident in our capabilities and there are not many studios that can match our quality."
I'm sure someone will swoop in and pick them up quickly. World in Conflict was a well received title. ;)
