Sadly, we’re right here but once more with one other video games studio that may seemingly be closing its doorways for good. A few years in the past, Greg Avenue, identified for his work on World of Warcraft and League of Legends, arrange Unbelievable Pixel Fort. There, it was introduced on the time, he would lead growth on an MMO codenamed Ghost, with NetEase serving as writer. Besides in a LinkedIn post earlier in the present day, Avenue shared that Unbelievable Pixel Fort will probably be shutting down.
“Unbelievable Pixel Fort will shut its doorways on Nov 17,” Avenue wrote. “Whereas there may be nonetheless an opportunity we will safe funding after that date, it would rely on how a lot of the workforce stays. Whereas we would like to make our sport, our first precedence is to assist our builders discover employment, whether or not that is at indie studio Unbelievable Pixel Fort 2.0, or at lots of the different superb (and hopefully secure) sport and tech firms on the market.”
This newest closure, assuming that nobody swoops in to save lots of the day with presumably a number of million {dollars}, is simply the most recent minimize in a line of them from NetEase. The publishing big kicked off the year by shedding a variety of US-based devs engaged on Marvel Rivals, and in August additionally they shuttered T-Minus Zero Leisure, a studio additionally based two years in the past by former BioWare developer and Star Wars: The Old Republic govt producer Wealthy Vogel, to not point out a number of other studios going through cuts or closures.
Not a lot was identified about Ghost, and and not using a savior it would keep that means. It is not the one unreleased MMO to be cancelled throughout the final week both, as Amazon recently did so with their Lord of the Rings MMO. Fingers crossed for all of the devs at Unbelievable Pixel Fort.
