Epic Games Founder Tim Sweeney stated that, “When former members of Big Huge Games approached Epic last year, we saw the opportunity to help a great group of people while putting them to work on a project that needed a team. It was a bold initiative and the Impossible folks made a gallant effort, but ultimately it wasn’t working out for Epic.”

Members of the team have however been provided with 3 months of severance pay and the option to form a new studio later with the Impossible Studios moniker and logo. Which admittedly is still awesome.

However, this development now means that the upcoming and hotly anticipated iPad action RPG Infinity Blade: Dungeons will be on hold as “we figure out the future of the project” according to Sweeney.

So what’s the cause of the delay? Well, great ideas take time, according to spokesman Wes Phillip. In conversation with AllThingsD, he stated that, “Ever since the talented team at Impossible Studios got their hands on Infinity Blade: Dungeons, they’ve been busy adding their great ideas to the game. There was also the matter of getting the Impossible Studios team up and running with desks, chairs, staplers and computers. The logistics of a new studio and implementing all these great ideas required a little extra time, so Infinity Blade: Dungeons will hit iOS in 2013.”

Then again, if Apple fans are any indicator, they’ll wait for anything (zing!).
