Layoffs have already begun and the company is deep in debt.
Dark Energy Digital, the company behind Hydrophobia, may be seeing its final days. Joystiq is reporting that the developer has already begun laying off employees and is deeply in debt.
Hydrophobia did not prove to be a success and it appears that the company may be preparing to shut its doors.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
