MCV reports that British publisher Empire Interactive has entered administration after what's described as a last-ditch attempt to find a buyer for the struggling company was unsuccessful. According to the report, employees of the company's London office were sent home this week, and Empire is "in the process of making all employees redundant." Word is Russian distributor and publisher Noviy Disk seemed interested in picking up the UK publisher of the FlatOut series, but those talks fell through. Administrator KPMG is expected to make an announcement about the fate of Empire on Monday.
