T-Minus Zero Entertainment Resurrected

After being shut down by NetEase Games, T-Minus Zero Entertainment is making a comeback. A small group of staff has acquired the T-Minus Zero name and are relaunching as an independent production company, inspired by their previous work.

Bad Brain Studios Closure

On the other hand, Bad Brain Studios, another studio under NetEase, has announced its closure later this month. Founded in 2023, the studio will be shutting down after being unable to secure new funding.

NetEase Studios Trend

This closure comes as another blow to NetEase Studios, with Bad Brain Game Studios being the fifth Western studio to close its doors. The parent company’s decision to pull funding has led to the unfortunate demise of these creative ventures.

Industry Impact

The closures of Bad Brain Studios and Fantastic Pixel Castle, both founded by NetEase, highlight the challenges faced by game development studios in a competitive market. The uncertainty in the gaming industry can have a significant impact on both developers and players alike.
