Warzone 2100 developers shut up shop

It is with much sadness that we report the demise of Bath-based developers Pumpkin Studios. The team responsible for Warzone 2100 had been hard at work on Saboteur, an inherited project that they had attempted to improve over the past five months. Unfortunately, Eidos deemed it necessary to cancel the project due to its projected release date and the "dwindling PlayStation market".

First Binary Asylum and now Pumpkin Studios. Maybe Bath is jinxed! Never mind, ex-Pumpkins, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding work - we heard there are a few developers in Brighton looking for talented programmers.
