Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios is soon to be no more, with owners Disney letting go of the team's 40 remaining staff,

More than 100 staff were let go earlier in the year, although a job listing posted since suggested that the team was working on a free-to-play title on iOS' Unity engine.An anonymous source blamed Disney's handling of the studio for the closure, claiming the Brighton-based developer was overlooked by the publisher by outsourcing projects that it could have taken on.Former members of the team have already have already started up their own studios; Roundcube Entertainment was started up by former studio director Nick Baynes, while four other department directors have formed ShortRound Games.
