First Post!! Why Did Black Isle Axe Torn?

[JDubya]

Hey all!

From what I gathered, they were very close to having it completed, and now it has been cancelled?!

I was really looking forward to a new, original role-playing world/story.

Welcome to the forums!

Black Isle is the RPG division of Interplay, a publisher that's currently having serious problems.
The announcement was: "Black Isle Studios' title, TORN, has been canceled. In conjunction with the cancellation, five of the 56 member Black Isle Studios staff were laid off. All of the remaining members of the TORN team are now working on other internal Black Isle Studios RPG products."

More information on the Interplay story is available in 2 EuroGamer news posts:
