Free Radical Design Shutting down

UK developer Free Radical Design are closing their doors for good.

Last month Free Radical director Steve Ellis had this to say about the company.

"Nothing unusual is happening here"
"we certainly won't be laying off any staff today. Or, for that matter, any time in 2008,"

However news is that the complete opposite has actually occurred.

Staff working at the company were today met by closed doors to the studio and were left with instructions to head to a nearby hotel for one last company meeting.

Free Radical are best known for their Timesplitters series and the PS3 exclusive Haze, Free Radical were working on Timesplitters 4 prior to closure.
