Nagoshi Studio Closes And Cancels Gang Of Dragon

Toshihiro Nagoshi just lost his entire studio and his new game in one fell swoop. The Yakuza creator launched Nagoshi Studio back in twenty twenty-one after leaving Sega. They revealed their cinematic action game Gang of Dragon at the twenty twenty-five Game Awards. NetEase funded the project until pulling their support amid broader budget cuts. The studio needed roughly forty-four million dollars to finish development. They failed to find another benefactor to fill the financial gap. Official notices in the Japanese government gazette confirmed the studio finalized its closure on October thirty-first. Social media accounts went dark, and the website vanished in May before a brief restoration. Talents left the company in droves over recent months. One source puts the final corporate notice in the Kanpo website, while another points to the November second edition of the government gazette. You can still find the Steam page online if you want to look at what might have been.
