Heaven Angel Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 According to an unnamed source, Australian-based studio Team Bondi has been closed, in a move by parent company Kennedy Miller Mitchell. The studio was seemingly unable to find a backer for upcoming release wh*re of the Orient, after rumoured publisher Warner Bros pulled the plug. It's the latest in a run of bad luck for Team Bondi, the developer behind Rockstar Games' 2011 release L.A. Noire. Following the release of the game, the studio was let go by Rockstar, with a majority of staff finding new employment at Kennedy Miller Mitchell, the film company behind Mad Max and Happy Feet.Many staff were put straight to work completing Happy Feet 2, while a second team continued developing wh*re of the Orient, "one of the great untold stories of the 20th Century", and pet project of studio head Brendan McNamara. The game was revealed last August as being in development for PC and next-gen consoles, with Warner Bros. reportedly attached as publisher.Some time since then, it seems KMM and Warner Bros parted ways, and with the developer unable to secure a new backer, all plans for wh*re of the Orient have reportedly been put on ice indefinitely. Our first - maybe only - look at wh*re of the Orient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacescreamer Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Isnt this old news?? LA Noire most def should have a sequel. The game was very good. And only if they had made the side missions more interesting, it would have touched the phenomenal success of something like Uncharted 2. Loved the game to bits.
