NetEase Shuts Down Bad Brain Game Studios

NetEase, a major player in the gaming industry, has made the decision to shut down another Western studio. Bad Brain Game Studios, founded just two years ago, will be closing its doors for good next week.

This closure comes as a surprise to many, especially since Bad Brain Game Studios was created by former Ubisoft developers, including those who worked on popular titles like Watch Dogs: Legion. Despite the talent behind the studio, it seems that they were unable to secure the necessary funding to continue their operations.

One of the main reasons for the shutdown seems to be the inability to find a new partner for their ongoing project codenamed Midnight Riders. Without the support and backing of a publisher, the studio was left with no choice but to cease operations.

Implications of the Closure

For the employees of Bad Brain Game Studios, this closure means uncertainty and potentially job loss. Many talented individuals will now have to look for new opportunities in an already competitive industry.

Additionally, the closure of yet another Western studio raises questions about the future of game development in the region. With increasing competition and financial challenges, it seems that even established developers are not immune to closures.

Looking Ahead

As Bad Brain Game Studios prepares to shut down, the gaming community is left wondering about the fate of their debut project, Midnight Riders. Will another studio pick up where they left off, or will the game be lost to the annals of unfinished projects?

Only time will tell what the future holds for the talented individuals at Bad Brain Game Studios and their ambitious project. For now, all we can do is wait and see what comes next in the ever-evolving world of game development.
