Team Bondi officially closing down

Confirming Develop’s report in early August, LA Noire developers Team Bondi officially entered administration as of August 30. The Australian-based developer came in to controversy after a number of former employees came forward decrying the low staff retention rate and perpetual crunch-time mode that took place over the seven-year development cycle.

Develop’s report also suggested that the company’s assets and staff were likely to be incorporated in to filmmaker George Miller’s studio KMM, who are currently working on Happy Feet 2. Should that happen, McNamara would be reunited with a number of Team Bondi alumni driven away during LA Noire’s development.
