Call of Duty: Police Warfare cancelled

The Call of Duty inspired cops vs robbers game, Police Warfare, has been cancelled according to a post on the Kickstarter website.

The note reads "Thank you so much for the incredible response to the game. We're shutting down the kickstarter account but this is by no means the end of Police Warfare. News will be coming."

Last week we reported the project was picking up momentum and the developers were still actively searching for investment. The funds for the project sat at $25,035 USD, more than 10 times short of its goal of $325,000 USD.

Speaking to Eurogamer, lead designer James Wearing said that even if the Kickstarter bid failed, it wouldn't be the end of the project.

"We've got a good group of people and have done a lot of work so it wouldn't make sense to throw everything away at this point."

It could very well be the developers have found a willing investor in the shape of a publisher, or it could be they were testing the water to see what kind of response the game would get; whatever it is we hope to hear more from the development team soon.
