Collapsed APB developer Realtime Worlds is said to be on the verge of being rescued from administration, with Develop reporting that the Dundee-based studio will be acquired by the end of next week.
The company was split up earlier this week when it was announced that an anonymous American firm had bought its social game Project Myworld. That left Realtime’s Dundee studio, a US satellite office and the rights to APB up for grabs.
Develop reports that two or three interested companies from “both sides of the Atlantic” have shown a serious interest in the Realtime Worlds business, and that a deal appears close to being finalised.
“Discussions are continuing and we are expecting to make an announcement next week,” a spokesperson for the studio’s administrator, Begbies Traynor, told the site.
