Closing of Ignition Florida

On November 3, 2010, Gamasutra reported that Ignition's Florida based studio had closed its doors, citing a rep from the studio that "We are continuing the Florida Studio’s project but refocusing it in the right direction. UTV Ignition will make an official news release regarding the studio soon." This was misunderstood by many prominent gaming sites like Kotaku and Joystiq that the game was cancelled.

Revival and UTV Ignition's consolidation

On January 12, 2011, in a press release UTV Ignition Entertainment said that "it has consolidated its West and East Coast operations to a central office in Austin, Texas with on line micro transaction gaming studio, UTV True Games", later adding that "The company's highly-anticipated first-person-shooter, Reich, remains in development and is now being developed in Austin, where key personnel along with additional new hires will create a new internal development team."

Cancellation

UTV Ignition's website has been shut down, suggesting the game has been cancelled.
