“We consistently evaluate our games portfolio and status of our projects to ensure we are meeting near and long-term business priorities,” PlayStation Studios CEO Hermen Hulst said. “As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen SIE’s Studio Business, we have had to make a difficult decision relating to two of our studios – Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios.”

oh damn, not even a rework
this really crashed and burned in record time

i kinda expected a free to play rework with overpriced skins and a pointless battlepass before they shut down for good.

Shame, really. The game looked fun at least

I wonder how much debt Sony offloaded onto them before shutting them down.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

At least $400m lol

I'm surprised they didn't even try f2p

[-] Thassodar@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I've seen F2P shuffled to other devs in the past, namely APB: Reloaded. They'll work on it quietly and then suddenly "Corcord 2.0 coming summer 2026!"
