It actually wouldn't have been that great of an April Fools' Day joke to convince everybody that Sega Studios San Francisco was kaput, considering the game company
recently laid off 30 people in the office. But unfortunately, it appears we're going to have to file this one in the not-funny-cause-it's-true-category.
That's right. Sega Studios San Fran is no more, according to an
anonymous but apparently inside source of 1up.com (Our calls haven't been returned). For those who aren't 13-year-old boys (or 13-year-old boys operating from inside decidedly older bodies) you might not know this was the studio behind the 3D remakes of
Altered Beast and
Golden Axe games, and
Iron Man movie tie-ins.
According to the original source on the story, Sega Nerds, the office could be shuttering its doors as soon as, well, right now.
