Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew was released about a week ago and received excellent reviews. Therefore, it comes as a shock that developer Mimimi has announced that the studio will be closing. Mimimi opened its doors in 2011 and has since given us games like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and Desperados III.
In a post on their website, founders Johannes Roth and Dominik Abé explain that the business doesn’t allow them to spend enough time with their families, and production costs have risen faster than potential revenues. Additionally, there’s a struggle to secure funding between each game, something they simply don’t have the energy for anymore.
As we look back at our 15-year journey crafting games (and crying about it), we feel grateful for the incredible love and support we received from all of you. We cherished every game we made and feel proud of what we were able to accomplish as a studio.
Apart from continuing to support Shadow Gambit with patches and new content, they will now focus on helping their employees find new positions in the game industry.
