PostCodemasters Cancel Heist

Codemasters have told CVG the main reason is Codemaster would rather focus on "High quality" titles.

UK publisher Codemasters has cancelled action title Heist, CVG can reveal.

The firm told CVG today that it had 'terminated Heist as a project' - and that it was fully focused on 'high quality titles'.

Criminal action title Heist was developed by inXile Entertainment and was set to be published for PC, 360 and PS3. Its story was set in San Francisco, California, circa 1969.

The decision comes after a stellar six months for Codemasters, with games such as Ashes Cricket 2009, DIRT 2, Operation Flashpoint 2 and F1 (Wii and PSP) giving it an enviable Metacritic average in 2009.

"After a much extended development period, Heist has been terminated as a project and removed from our release schedule," a Codemasters spokesperson told CVG.

"Codemasters is focusing its future portfolio on high quality titles that will, in the majority, be developed and produced by our internal studios."

CVG understands that the firm is lining up announcements for some truly huge games in the next few months - and we'll be sure to let you know about them when they land.

It must be a finished product by now, surely? Wasn't it supposed to be out in December?
