Wolfpack Studios Shuts Down

MMORPG.com is reporting that Ubisoft will be closing the Shadowbane development house on May 15th. This is somewhat expected, though, considering the recent announcement that the MMORPG is now free to play. A snip from their newsbit:

Parent company UBISoft is said to instead be redirecting their company’s focus to next-gen platforms.

At this time, there is no word on what this will mean for the future of Shadowbane itself. The game just hit its three-year anniversary and was recently offered free to all users.

In total, approximately 25 people at the Austin, TX studio have been left without work.
