SCi's financial statement not only revealed
Tomb Raider going Nintendo, but there was also a rather curious mention regarding Battlestations Midway. SCI revealed that the title is no longer in development at Mithis Entertainment, but instead a "newly formed studio in Budapest." Upon checking
the Mithis website it says "website closed" and Eidos seemed to know nothing about it, while SCi did not reply. When contacting HD interactive, Mithis was developing Joint Task force for them, we received word that an official announcement will be released tomorrow. Is Mithis closed? Is Mithis the new Budapest studio? Did SCi buy Mithis?
Further information indicates that Mithis is now known as
Most Wanted Entertainment (thanks Jack).
