Only a rumor as of now but Epic Games is considering buying the rights to All Points Bulletin which failed after just 90 days and caused its developer to shut down it doors.
Apparently Realtime Worlds and Epic Games have some sort of connection where the boss of Realtime Worlds is a personal friend of the VP from Epic Games. Once Realtime Worlds collapsed as a studio, they contacted Epic Games to see if they were interested in buying the rights to the game before contacting other companies.
Most likely Epic Games wouldn't take over APB and restart the servers but it would give them the source code and pre-made engine/environment to build a future MMO if they were ever interested.
