Rumor: CD Projekt shuts down Metropolis Software?


Last week we reported that Poland-based game developer CD Projekt had completed his business moves, making it a publically traded company. However the GameBanshee web site is now reporting that one of their subsidary developers, Metropolis Software, closed its doors shortly before the transition.

CD Projekt bought Metropolis Software in February 2008. Before the purchase the developer had released several games including their 2007 third person action game Infernal. Metropolis Software had been working on a sci-fi FPS called They for some time (pictured above) but the last footage of that game was from a CD Projekt trailer that was released nearly a year ago. GameBanshee claims that Metropolis Software had its work force cut to about 12 people earlier this year and now the remaining staff have either been let go or absorbed into CD Projekt. They's current status is "on hold". We've emailed CD Projekt's PR head but he has given us a "no comment" about this news for now.
