Heroes Over Europe On Atari’s Release Schedule

Recent reports suggesting that Heroes Over Europe has been canned are unfounded according to Atari.

Despite Red Mile, the developer behind both Sin City and Heroes Over Europe, facing possible liquidation, Atari has confirmed that Heroes Over Europe, a World War II flight combat game for the 360, PS3 and PC, “is still on [our] release schedule.”

GameSpot report Red Mile is having some issue with the publishing agreement and a recent statement indicates that the company will need a substantial sum of money for it to complete both Sin City and Heroes Over Europe.

"We anticipate needing an additional USD 10,000,000 to finance our planned operations over the next 24 to 36 months. We will be unable to complete development of Heroes Over Europe and Sin City: The Game (working title), or publish any other additional games if we are unable to receive co-publishing advances on both the foregoing titles or raise additional capital through either sale of securities or issuance of debt," the statement added.

The question is, however, who will take over the Heroes Over Europe title if Red Mile go under, a question Atari refuses to comment on.

We’ll keep you posted.

VGReleases says, March 24, 2009 for HOE release date. http://www.vgreleases.com/Xbox360/ReleaseDate-93736.aspx

Bad News!!!! Even if Atari plans to release HoE ... how would that work? Was the game already finished? If another dev would have to finish HoE i think that will mean a long delay

... sad

I thought transmission games are HOE's devs. I mean, they made HOTP, and unless there was a major bug that was discovered, I thought they were already pretty much done. I would, however, take a delay over a cancellation

[Aviator0808]

Transmission Games are the developers. I can't understand why Red Mile referred to itself as 'developing' the game. Anyway, good news from Atari.

I think we should look on the bright side here. forget whos making the game and hope somebody can save red mile/take over, and look forward to the game being released like Atari said :)
