Former WoW Designer’s Studio Shut Down After Funding Ends

It’s a sad day for fans of MMOs as the studio led by former World of Warcraft designer, Greg Street, has announced its closure after funding came to an end. The studio, known for its work on the upcoming MMO Ghost, was founded by Street after he left Riot Games to pursue his own project.

The news of the studio’s closure comes as a blow to many in the gaming community, who were eagerly anticipating the release of Ghost. Street’s experience with World of Warcraft and League of Legends had raised hopes for a new and innovative MMO experience.

NetEase, the publisher backing the studio, has also announced the closure of a fifth Western studio, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the future of the MMO being developed by Street and his team.

While the closure of the studio is disappointing, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by developers in the gaming industry. Despite the passion and talent of individuals like Greg Street, the road to success in the world of MMOs can be a rocky one.
