Even a thoroughly awesome logo wasn’t enough to save it – Epic Games has just announced that after only six months, it is closing new studio Impossible Studios.

Farewell, winged bear.

Impossible was formed from the ashes of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developers Big Huge Games, with former THQ creative director Sean Dunn in the director’s chair.

Tim Sweeney – Epic founder – recalls:

When former members of Big Huge Games approached Epic last year, we saw the opportunity to help a great group of people while putting them to work on a project that needed a team.

It was a bold initiative and the Impossible folks made a gallant effort, but ultimately it wasn’t working out for Epic.

The Impossible Studios staff have been given three months’ severance pay, and the unusual opportunity to form a new company with the same name and logo, if they want to.

The news puts the future of Infinity Blade: Dungeons, a prequel to the iOS smash series, on hold until further notice.
