Word emerging online over Easter weekend suggests that Deadline Games could be facing up to the threat of closure, with bankruptcy a realistic proposition.

The developer are responsible for the intriguing Faith and a .45, which has yet to be released, and were also behind the recent downloadable Watchmen releases.

Apparently, the firm have been seeking new projects, but failed to secure work from publishing partners at the recent GDC event, leaving them clinging on for dear life.

Faith and a .45 has been placed on hold, pending a publishing partner, and the future looks bleak for the Danish firm if new games deals can't be procured.
