Limbo of the Lost publisher TriSynergy has responded to yesterday's revelation that the point and click PC game had lifted levels straight from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Since the original discovery it's also emerged that Limbo of the Lost has "borrowed" environments from Thief 2 (see here and here) and assets from Diablo, Morrowind, UT 2004, Silent Hill and Painkiller. They're in trouble.

"Tri Synergy is just as shocked as everyone else is by the recent screenshot comparisons," the company said in a statement. "At no point during our dealings with Majestic Studios up until the point that the comparison was first publicly made by a third party did we have any knowledge of these similarities. Additionally, Tri Synergy will discontinue distribution of Limbo of the Lost in both retail and online outlets.
"We have contacted the developer, Majestic, and are anxiously awaiting their response. As soon as we know more on this matter we will issue another statement."
A Bethesda representative has confirmed that its legal team is "looking into" the matter. The many other game companies involved are yet to comment.
