Midway Games
On February 12, 2009, Midway Games filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States. Warner Bros. subsequently acquired "substantially all of the assets", including "Mortal Kombat", "This Is Vegas" and the Midway Games company structure, on July 10, 2009. While Warner Bros. went on to close most of Midway Games' Chicago headquarters and San Diego, California and Liverpool, England, development studios, they retained the Midway Games Chicago development studio, which became part of Interactive Entertainment. The surviving studio was renamed WB Games Chicago a few days later. On April 20, 2010, the studio was reincorporated as NetherRealm Studios, effectively replacing WB Games Chicago.
