Behaviour closes down Midwinter because it cancels Undertaking T

Canadian developer Behaviour Interactive is closing down Midwinter Leisure.

“Yesterday, Behaviour Interactive introduced the cancellation of Undertaking T and the closure of its Midwinter studio in Seattle,” Behaviour stated. 

“This resolution was taken following a diligent threat evaluation from a business and a product perspective, which yielded unsatisfactory outcomes. This unhappy information by no means displays the expertise of the group, who put a whole lot of power into Undertaking T.

“All the workers have been provided to relocate to our Canadian studios, as we strongly imagine of their experience. Ought to they resolve to not settle for, they are going to be offered with a beneficiant severance package deal. We wish to thank them for all their exhausting work on Undertaking T and need them the perfect for the long run.”

Midwinter was arrange veterans of Halo maker 343 Industries in 2016. The studio ended up engaged on Scavengers, a mission that used Inconceivable’s SpatialOS cloud tech, earlier than the developer was acquired by the London-based startup in 2019. 

Three years later, Inconceivable bought Midwinter to Behaviour and closed down Scavengers.
