The developers of Disintegration, V1 Interactive (who were a newly formed studio), have announced that they are closing down after the disappointing and poor launch of the first-person shooter last year.
In a post on Twitter, the studio said that “we are sad to inform you that V1 Interactive is officially closing.” They then go on to thank the talented people who helped make Disintegration and the community that supported them.
Marcus Letho, the studio’s President went on to say that he has been upfront with employees about the closure of the studio for months and made the decision now to allow employees to find other jobs within the industry. We hope everyone is able to land on their feet
Disintegration released back in June 2020 and gained mixed reviews upon launch. Its single-player was mostly received well, but the multiplayer mode struggled to find an audience and was shut down around five months after the game launched. We were mixed on the experience and found it to under-deliver on both modes. You can read our review here.
We are sad to inform you that V1 Interactive is officially closing.
We want to thank all the talented people at V1, both past and present, who helped make the last 5 years wonderful.
And a heartfelt thanks to the amazing community that supported us. pic.twitter.com/XX6Sxtc32o— V1 Interactive (@V1Interactive) March 8, 2021
At V1, our priority has been to the wellbeing of our employees.
We’ve been transparent with them about the state of things for months and are making this decision now so they still have ample time to search for new jobs while being supported by our studio. https://t.co/XJbWDxazto
