Red Ant Enterprises on the way out
By Jessica Citizen - Wed Jan 21, 2009 10:05am
While they might not be a household name themselves, Australian game and DVD distributor Red Ant are responsible for bringing games to Australia from companies like Midway, Konami, Bethesda and Capcom. However, we're now not sure how many of those games will be arriving on our shores, as the local company has gone into receivership, mere months before the scheduled release of Bionic Commando, Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5.
It's not yet known just what will happen to these titles - nobody is answering the phones in Red Ant's offices, and we are waiting to hear back from the overseas publishers.
The future is uncertain in Australia for Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5
If you're the type of person who likes details, there is a listing on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission that explains what's going on. Officially, the company is now listed as being UNDER EXTERNAL ADMINISTRATION and/or CONTROLLER APPOINTED, which is not the most positive of signs. We'llkeep you posted as we hear back from the relevant companies.
