3DO Files for Bankruptcy

The company behind Army Men, High Heat Baseball, and the upcoming Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is going broke. Please, hold your applause until the end of the announcement.

According to GameSpot, The 3DO Company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The infamous publisher has subsisted on sales of its mysteriously popular Army Men series for years, but it seems the well has run dry.

3DO is actively seeking a buyer, either for the entire company or any of its assets. Being that the publisher's most ambitious game in years, the upcoming Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is known to be a favorite of CEO Trip Hawkins, that title will likely be pushed hard to other companies, so that it can eventually be finished.

The next 3DO release on GameCube was to be a version of their only critically acclaimed series, High Heat Baseball. The game had seen several delays, but is currently finished and waiting to be printed onto discs and shipped out to stores. At this point, it's unclear as to whether that process will ever be completed, but our sources within the company tell us it's highly doubtful.
