Unconfirmed: Free Radical Design to shut down?

While its not 100% confirmed yet, all signs point to fact that independent developer Free Radical has closed its doors with staff being locked out and some of them already let go. Free Radical, developers of the excellent Timesplitters series to the average Haze, had been believed to be working on the next Star Wars Battlefront game as well as the next iteration in the Timesplitters franchise. While signs earlier in the year werent great, its looking like its totally game over for the UK developers. Not a very good time of the year for anyone to lose their job. Source: Gamesindustry
