NetEase Game Studio ‘Ghost’ Shutting Down After Two Years

NetEase’s game studio, known for working on the MMO codenamed ‘Ghost’, is closing its doors after just two years of operation. The closure is scheduled for November 17, marking yet another shutdown in the gaming industry.

Collaboration End

According to reports, NetEase has decided to end its collaboration with the internal studio less than two years after its formation. The studio was focused on developing the highly anticipated MMO project, ‘Ghost’, which now faces an uncertain future.

Financial Backing

Just weeks before the announcement of the closure, the studio’s team had revealed their search for new financial backing to support the development of ‘Ghost’. However, it seems that the efforts were not successful in securing the necessary resources to keep the studio afloat.

Industry Impact

This latest closure adds to a growing list of game studios shutting down within a short period of operation. The trend raises concerns about the sustainability of new ventures in the competitive gaming market, especially for studios backed by larger companies like NetEase.

Future Prospects

As the NetEase game studio behind ‘Ghost’ prepares to shut down, industry observers are left speculating about the fate of the MMO project. Will it be picked up by another studio or will it be abandoned altogether? Only time will tell.
