Realtime Worlds APB MMO Set to Close tomorrow Here

Realtime Worlds and its online multiplayer title All Points Bulletin are to close tomorrow, according to multiple sources close to the collapsed Dundee studio.

The news follows recent reports that an announcement regarding a buyout of the company - which went into administration in August - would be made this week.

A poster on APB’s European forums points out that the game no longer appears to be available via Steam, while another claims that the title was recently pulled from retail shelves.

Realtime Worlds was split up last week when it was announced that an anonymous American firm had bought its social game Project Myworld, leaving the company's Dundee studio, a US satellite office and the rights to APB up for grabs.

Wow this sucks.

Didn't it just get released on Steam like a month and a half ago? I'd be raging for a refund.

Jet, start using the USN format. It is more pleasing on the eyes.

Thats sad...

That's a shame. Hopefully it will get brought back if the dev is bought over.

What's the USN format? Put it in code tags, thanks!

I never played it but my friend was a beta tester for it and loved the game. Such a shame, it looked like from the concept that it was flawed but with tweaking, it could be brilliant. Seeing how games like Red Dead Redemption work in terms of online (more specifically it's Free Roam mode), I really see MMOs in the realm of GTA or the like working.

People already have their hands full with WoW, no wonder it wasn't successful.

Just looked at IGN, and there's info about Epic Games wanting to buy APB.

Maybe if this game falls into the hands of Epic, they could make it successful.
