Codemasters has filed a Complaint against NetDevil and Gazillion over the game's delay.

If you've been wondering when Jumpgate Evolution is going to come out, it appears that Codemasters wants to know the same thing. To that end, Codemasters has filed a Complaint with the federal court in San Francisco against Gazillion and NetDevil. Here's the official statement:

"This is a public document readily available to the press. The allegations in the Complaint are clear and self-explanatory and address issues related to the development of Jumpgate Evolution. During the course of the litigation other documents will become part of the court’s public records further detailing the respective positions of the parties. On the advice of Codemasters’ US attorneys, Codemasters has no further comment at this time."

If you'd like the full details on all of Codemaster's allegations, you can read the full Complaint. To summarize, Codemasters claims it paid Gazillion and NetDevil $1.1 million in advances to date and approximately $300,000 in Art Assets costs. Codmasters alleges that Gazillion and NetDevil failed to reach development milestones to release the game by Feb. 24, 2009. Codemasters wants its money back, plus legal expenses and other damages.

As far as Jumpgate Evolution updates are concerned, NetDevil has posted a handful since the game switched to new forums in early October. A playtest video and developer update were released that same month, and NetDevil posted a new screenshot today featuring the Quantar docking area.

So what do you think? Will Jumpgate Evolution ever see the light of day?
