The studio has been developing its new MMORPG, [Ghost] (set in an original fantasy world), since 2023.
Street stated that while NetEase Games was very supportive in helping the studio seek a new publisher, he acknowledged it is extremely difficult to secure a publishing deal given today’s market size for MMORPGs.
He added that although they’ve done everything possible, if no publisher can be found, the studio will close and development will cease.
