Silicon Knights has gotten another heaping helping of bad news: a court order to cease production of and destroy all games that use the Unreal Engine. The document, signed by district court judge James C. Dever III on Wednesday, requires that the company destroy all versions of game code that used Unreal Engine 3 by no later than December 10, 2012.

After a disastrous lawsuit against Epic Games and the critical and financial failure of X-Men: Destiny, Canadian developer Silicon Knights has fallen on hard times. The developer has been long revered thanks to games like Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness, and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. However, since departing the good graces of Nintendo, the studio has struggled to release a game of high quality.
According to a former employee of the company, Silicon Knights fell apart due to the authoritative control of Denis Dyack, studio head. Cutting ties with Nintendo meant Dyack would have total control of the studio, without the support he would receive from the Japanese publisher. "This is the reason for the extremely high quality games that SK built a reputation on," a source said. "Nintendo was going to put their name on the game, so it had to be 'Nintendo quality.'"

Silicon Knights, developer of X-Men Destiny and Too Human, has confirmed sizable layoffs. The Canadian studio has let go of 45 employees, or slightly more than half of the team. This is a smaller figure than rumored yesterday, but is still a significant cut.
According to the studio, the reason for the layoff is the cancellation of a new game which had "been in the works for months" and was canceled at "the final second." The lack of work is what resulted in the layoff.
Silicon Knights, developer of games like Too Human, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, and Eternal Darkness, is rumored to have undergone "massive layoffs." The Canadian development studio, having just shipped X-Men Destiny, has apparently laid off all but 25 employees today.
While it's common for contract employees to be terminated once a game ships, the alleged size of the cuts points to something far more drastic.
