Yakuza Series Creator Toshiro Nagoshi's Studio Has Officially Shut Down Before Releasing a Game
Brief
Nagoshi Studio, founded by Yakuza series creator Toshiro Nagoshi, officially closed on October 31 via a shareholders' resolution without releasing a game. Gematsu reported the closure appeared in Japan's government gazette Kanpo, and Bloomberg said NetEase cut funding after learning Gang of Dragon needed at least another ¥7 billion (about $44.4 million) to finish.
Why this
Nagoshi Studio's closure after NetEase pulled funding shows how a publisher's retreat from overseas investment can end an in-development project.
