Update: Atari has provided Shacknews with a statement, saying that Eden Games is not closed. However, the company does confirm that it has "divested" from the studio: "Our earnings statement contained a report about the divestment of Eden Studios. We want to make it clear that the studio has not closed and that we will continue to support the console and PC games of Eden Studios, notably Test Drive Unlimited 2, while this process is underway. The divestment is in line with our previously stated strategy of exploiting our popular intellectual property library on mobile devices, where he have seen strong initial success, and via online games and licensing."

Original Story: Test Drive Unlimited developer Eden Games was as good as dead after owner Atari laid off most of the staff last year, but now it's official. In its financial results for last year, filed this week, the publisher confirmed it's been selling off what assets remain.

While some crude, loutish companies apologise for game bugs over Twitter or in forum posts, Test Drive Unlimited 2 developer Eden and publisher Atari have taken the civilised route of addressing the racer's "issues" in an open letter and offering a free downloadable content pack.

"Thank you for your continued support and feedback," opens the letter addressed to "the TDU2 community," going on to say that players have "been amazing and helped us quickly identify a number of issues." As a token of appreciation, the 'Exploration Pack' DLC pack, which contains the Lancia Stratos version Rallye and 1969 Dodge Charger cars, will be released for free. Previous TDU2 DLC cars have cost $1 each. Read more »
