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.
