Despite launching a mere 6 months ago, free to play multiplayer FPS Bullet Run is being cancelled by Sony Online Entertainment and Acony. The latter is shutting down, and billing will cease from February as the game will be discontinued from

On its officially website, Acony “regrets to announce that we are no longer able to support development of Bullet Run and that the studio will close. While we remain very proud of the game we created and the enjoyment that it gave a lot people, commercial realities have unfortunately made continued support for it unsustainable.

“We hope that the loyal community of people who played the game had as much fun playing the game as we had making it, and we would like to offer heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last few years.”

Despite GIBiz reaching out to founding partner André Herbst, he replied, “There’s nothing left to say on our end.”

Sony Online Entertainment have today revealed Bullet Run, a free-to-play first person shooter due for release late summer, on PC.

In a similar vein to the early Unreal Tournament titles, Bullet Run sees players compete in a futuristic game show where points are prizes, awarded for stylish kills. Each game will allow for up to 20 players at any time, across 6 maps, in both Team Deathmatch or “Dominion” game modes.

Beta registrations are open on the game’s official website, as well as the game’s first trailer and a whole host of screenshots.

Developed by ACONY, Bullet Run looks like it could be an interesting addition to the burgeoning world of free-to-play. It looks likely we’ll find out more at this year’s E3 so keep your eyes peeled.

Ever heard of “Hedone“, well we have and you can try and get in on the Beta as it is something rather unique. In the world of Hedone, it’s all about personal pleasure, fun and fame but handing it all to you would not be any fun. You will enter the arena of a combat game show that’s aired worldwide to gain you fame. Do well and you have much at your disposal from personal pleasure to having constantly improving weapons and even improving yourself. Of course there is a twist to the story that may costs lives. As it stands though it is a FPS for the PC set for a release late this year (2011). Check out the trailer above and official site here.
