Disney Interactive Studios has closed its Vancouver, Canada-based game development studio Propaganda Games, representing another in a series of shake-ups since John Pleasants was installed last fall as head of the games group.
Propaganda recently completed work on Tron: Evolution, a console game that explores events leading up to the conflict in the film "Tron: Legacy." Even though it featured voice talent from the film, sales have been weak. Disney has sold only 190,755 copies, according to NPD Group.Last October Propaganda Games' other big project, Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, was cancelled and the team working on it was let go.
I'm sure everyone at Junction Point is breathing a huge sigh of relief that Epic Mickey has been selling so well.
