Lost Planet 3 developer Spark Unlimited Shutting Down -- Report

Following a questioning post from gaming forum NeoGaf that uncovered developer Spark Unlimited's office equipment up for auction, company representatives revealed that it would no longer be developing games.

"It's the end of Spark as a game developer," former Spark Unlimited CTO John Butrovich told Polygon in a statement. The story also reports that the company has laid off all its employees. All of the company's current project have been canceled, including an in-develoopment free-to-play title, while projects that continue to generate revenue will be shifted to a trustee.

Spark Unlimited is best-known for developing Lost Planet 3, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, and Call of Duty: Finest Hour.

We've reached out to company representatives for further details about the closure and will update this story with new details as they're made available.
