Game Over for Interplay?

Aug 27, 2001 6:25pm CST tags: Vivendi, Fox Interactive, Industry News: PC & Console, Interplay
Eurogamer is reporting that Titus has announced their plans to close down Interplay's publishing duties, and instead make the company their American development house. Also in this announcement is the news that all of Interplay's future titles will be published through Vivendi Universal, the company formerly known as Havas Interactive. Although it's not named specifically, Sierra will most likely wind up as the publisher for Interplay's games, as they recently signed a similar deal with Fox Interactive. Nothing is stated as to what, if any effect this will have on titles Interplay was set to publish but did not develop internally (such as Neverwinter Nights), or Interplay subsidiary Shiny's ultra-expensive Matrix game that's being bankrolled by Microsoft.
