`Racing` Black Rock Studio has recently officially ceased to exist. The decision was taken a month ago, but only came into effect on Friday, September 2. British Black Rock Studio began its career back in 1999 year as a developer of games for the Sega Dreamcast console. In 2006, already after the studio retrained on platforms PlayStation and Xbox, it acquired the Buena Vista Games (now Disney Interactive Studios). In twelve years, Black Rock has published thirteen games, including notorious Pure and Split / Second. Despite the relatively high critical acclaim, the latest studio project (it is just about Split / Second) in the business plan failed miserably. Rumor has it that the reason for that was `shot` in May last year, Western Red Dead Redemption. Since then, actually, it all started. In December, Black Rock has canceled development of Split / Second 2 and, according to Eurogamer, has begun to create shareware strategy Champions Alliance. Another DOTA-clone, leave it in the past year, the ceremony would have found its audience. But at the end of 2011 - it`s too late. Pyatnadtsatimillionnaya League of Legends, its main rival in the person of Heroes of Newerth, presented at the 2011 GamesCom Dota 2 from Valve and the recently announced MOBA-project from the studio Blizzard have left the choice of the leadership of Disney Interactive. Therefore, Black Rock Studio closed. The subsequent fate of Champions Alliance and Split / Second 2, it is unknown
