Red 5 Studios may never complete its unannounced MMO. The Irvine, California based developer founded by ex-Blizzard staffers, has been hit by layoffs, sources tell Kotaku, leaving it with a “skeleton crew” and an abandoned massively multiplayer online shooter.
Back in ’05, a bunch of former World of Warcraft developers left Blizzard to form their own studio, Red 5. Which cuts dangerously close to my own choice of studio name, Red Six.
