Human Head Studios Being Sued by Rune II Publisher for Withholding Assets, Breaching Contract
Things have not been going well for Human Head Studios lately. After putting out the rather disastrous The Quiet Man last year, they announced last month that the studio would be shutting down, with the staff then being picked up by Bethesda and formed into a new development team under the name Roadhouse Studios. Human Head?s final game was action RPG Rune II, launched on November 13, 2019, the same day they chose to shut down. It seems that Ragnarok Game, the publisher for Rune II, is not amused. It is filing a lawsuit against several of Human Head Studios? key staff for a breach of contract after the developer had committed to support the title.
The lawsuit was first announced by the publisher on Rune II?s official forums. Ragnarok was completely surprised by Human Head Studios? closure and was not made aware of it until five days before the shutdown. According to Ragnarok, Human Head?s contract promised post-launch support for Rune II, with one part of the lawsuit saying ?As part of its long-term contract, Human Head was not only contractually committed to support Rune II?s launch, but also to support the game beyond its launch, in exchange for a $110,000 fee to be paid by Ragnarok.?
