Human Head Studios damaged in fire

Human Head Studios and other businesses on fire - Image 1 


Human Head Studios, maker of the game Prey, was recently the victim of a fire that destroyed a portion of the building they the studios' employees were staying in.

According to the report from Channel3000.com, firefighters received a call around 2:30 A.M. of April 20 regarding flames coming out of the building where Human Head Studios is located. No cause has yet been determined for the fire, though it is presumed that the fire began in the rear storage area of the building.

The building, which housed numerous other businesses, was apparently damaged severely in the flames. Luckily, no injuries were reported from the blaze, though the businesses involved were definitely hurt by the fire.

We do hope that Human Head gets back on its feet in no time, because it'd be a shame to lose such a great developer to a fire like that. Till they give out official word though, we'll just have to sit and wait.

If you're developing for the 360 and you get the overheating lights, TURN THE SYSTEM OFF
