Craig Duncan of Midway Newcastle revealed some time ago that they were solely focused on finding a suitor to save his team in the UK, but that hasn’t come to pass.
Both Midway San Diego and Midway Newcastle were not included in the Warner Bros deal to save the company, meaning they were left to fend for themselves. What of San Diego?
”My focus is 100 per cent on finding a buyer. Every studio head will say it, but this is team that’s just too good to be wasted,” Duncan said weeks back. The Newcastle studio even began releasing media assets of a new game they were working on called Necessary Force, a whole new IP, in a bid to entice interest in the team.
Midway Newcastle most recently released The Wheelman for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Midway San Diego has more time to find a buyer, thanks to US labour laws.
