Reports are circulating that Free Radical Design has closed its doors and could even be shut down entirely.
Numerous calls to the publisher's offices and its staff at the time of going to press have not been returned, as speculation mounts that senior executives and other members of staff have had to walk away from the business.
Rumours that the developer has shut down were initially sparked by a number of sources claiming that the company’s Nottingham studio has been locked up, with staff unable to enter the building.
This remains purely speculation at this stage. Edge understands that a company meeting has taken place earlier today. More as it comes through.
