Oz Game Dead?

by Maarten Goldstein Mar 03, 2004 3:43pm CST tags: Atari, Return to Oz
Though there was never much info on the game, PC.IGN is reporting that American McGee's Wizard of Oz title is "dead in the water". The game's original publisher, Infogrames/Atari, dropped the game and apparently no other publishers were willing to take a gamble on an unproven property. McGee did sell the Oz concept to Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney last year, and hopes there will be a renewed interest if a movie ever is made. Update: GameSpot has their own story about this, and according to McGee the Xbox version is still being shopped around.
