All Points Bulletin (APB) is scheduled to join a growing list of discontinued games when Realtime Worlds officially pulls the plug today, but there may yet be hope for the online shooter. According to a report from the BBC, a source close to the APB development team has mentioned that North Carolina-based Gears of War developer Epic Games may be a potential buyer.
A source close to the development team at APB told BBC News that administrators were looking to sell the intellectual property rights to APB. One company mentioned as a potential buyer was US-based Epic Games.
Epic Games is also the creator of the popular Unreal engine, which is used in a number of MMOGs already, including APB. While the certainty of APB's future is still unclear, Epic Games could be in a better position than anyone to pick the ball up and run with it.
