Disney has confirmed that Junction Point Studios, the developer of the Epic Mickey games, has been shut down, with all 160 employees being let go. Here is the official word from a representative of Disney:
It was with much sadness that we informed our teams today of changes to our Games organization, which include the closure of Junction Point Studios. These changes are part of our ongoing effort to address the fast-evolving gaming platforms and marketplace and to align resources against our key priorities. We're extremely grateful to Warren Spector and the Junction Point team for their creative contributions to Disney with Disney Epic Mickey and Disney Epic Mickey 2.
-Disney Representative
It has also been confirmed that Warren Spector, the founder of the studio, has left Disney Interactive following the closure. The latest entry in the series, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, received mostly negative reviews and sold poorly.
