As confirmed by parent company Koch Media to Develop, Cursed Mountain developer Deep Silver Vienna has apparently been closed. Citing “the overall economic situation” and noting “this decision is not easy for us,” the 20-person staff was recently cut and told they would receive pay through the end of March. Develop posits that the studio’s other game — Ride to Hell — will likely remain unaffected by the shutdown, as UK dev house Eutechnyx is handling development and Koch Media’s Munich offices will oversee the game’s management.

Deep Silver Vienna was formed in the wake of Rockstar Vienna’s closing back in 2006, and originally called itself Games That Matter. Ex-Rockstar Vienna heads Hannes Seifert and Niki Laber launched the studio, and it is said that Siefert has moved on to a position at Square Enix Europe as a creative director. As with every case like this, we’d like to wish those affected the best of luck.
