Microsoft: “No plans” to move Rare from Twycross
A story claiming Rare’s to move from Twycross to Birmingham is wrong, Microsoft’s confirmed to VG247.
“Rare have got no plans to move from their Twycross studio,” a rep told us on the phone, adding that the story is “incorrect”.
Talk of the UK outfit moving north originated in The Birmingham Post, which claimed the studio will move into the re-developed Fazeley Studios in the city’s former industrial centre.
So there we are.

The studio will move into the redeveloped Fazeley Studios in the former industrial centre.

We’ll follow up with Rare on this one and see what they have to say.

Report – Kameo 2 was in development at Rare, now canned
According to a report from CVG, Kameo 2 was in development at Rare, but was subsequently canned because of the company’s restructure and switch to development of Project Natal.
Bad sales of the original game, which was a launch title for the 360 back in 2005, is known to be a factor of why the sequel was canned, apparently.
The report also suggests there was another known series getting a new edition at Rare alongside Kameo 2, but that was also canned.
Could that have been Perfect Dark Zero 2? Or even Killer Instinct?
We’ll leave an email with Rare anyways to see what they say.
