 On February 4, 2008 2K Games and Firaxis announced that the Wii version of "Civilization Revolution" was put on indefinite hold due to lack of manpower and no PlayStation 2 or PlayStation Portable editions of the game to share assets with.Firaxis programmer Scott Lewis explained, "CivRev was originally an Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 project and was in development for over a year before the Wii/DS platforms were added.The result was that the time and effort it would have taken to remake a game built for higher-end hardware from the ground up would simply have been too costly."
