Unfortunately, being pulled from their sole project - Dead Island 2 - has had an incredible impact on Yager Productions as the company have now filled for insolvency.

In essence, Yager Productions can no longer pay off its debts. Yager's managing director Timo Ullmann has announced that this filing is a direct result of being pulled from the project.

"As single-purpose company, Yager Productions was assigned to the development of the Deep Silver title Dead Island 2. The insolvency filing is a direct result from the early termination of the project and helps protecting our staff. In the course of the proceedings, we gain time to sort out the best options for reorganising this entity."

"Insolvency proceedings solely affect Yager Productions. All other parts of Yager Group are independent and remain unaffected. In addition to titles that are already in production, Yager has a team working on new gaming concepts which also remained intact."

In the past, Yager Productions brought us Spec Ops: The Line, a well-recieved third-person shooter with a focus on sanity and morals.
