In a statement on the studio's Facebook page, Builder Box promised it would continue to grow the Blacklight universe. "It has been awesome working with all the various technology over the years, both hardware and software, growing with the industry and our fans, and producing fun games and technology of our own." "The owners of Zombie Studios are retiring and wish to thank you, our fans, for the years of support you have provided us," the statement read.

Founded in 1994, the Seattle-based studio made the announcement on the official Zombie Studios website, but it doesn't spell the end for free-to-play shooter Blacklight: Retribution. That will fall into the hands of newly formed studio Builder Box, which is helmed by the former Director of Production and Technical Director of Zombie Studios. Blacklight: Retribution and Spec Ops developers Zombie Studios will close, the company announced today.
