More news to come, according to Jaffe.
David Jaffe’s Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency game studio suffered a huge blow today following the cancellation of one of its major projects.
The news was broken by studio head David Jaffe on his personal Twitter. Jaffe said “the vast majority” of the studio’s game division are being let go following the cancellation. Jaffe promised more news is forthcoming.
Bartlet Jones was responsible for Drawn to Death, the free-to-play arena shooter that took its visual inspiration from the frenzied doodles of a high school student’s notebook. While the game was visually and conceptually interesting, and Jaffe is no stranger to competitive games, it failed to excite critics or gamers.
In our Drawn to Death review, we said with its unique look, the game “could have hit the ground running.”
