Greedfall: The Dying World developer Spiders is set to close.
Initially, reports by French outlet Origami, via Eurogamer, suggested the closure came after parent company Nacon failed to find a buyer for the Paris-based studio.
Now, just weeks after the Greedfall prequel left early access, Spiders confirmed the news, apologizing for “the silence over the past month” and admitting that “after a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.”
“What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists,” the company added in a tweet. “We’ll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then – well, that’s it.
“We’re sorry that it’s come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years. If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we’ll no longer be able to reply.”
It is unclear how Nacon intends to continue supporting Greedfall: The Dying World, which released on March 10.
Citing “several sources close to the matter,” Origami’s reporting suggested the request to liquidate the studio is “merely a formality at this stage” after the studio’s other recent project, codenamed Dark, was cancelled last year. After that, Spiders reportedly “focused its efforts on the final stretch of GreedFall 2’s production and developing a new pitch to secure its future.”
“CV updates and self-study sessions have replaced work on future productions,” Origami reported.
Nacon subsidiaries Spiders, Kylotonn, Cyanide, and Nacon Tech all filed for insolvency last month.
