NetEase cuts funding for Yakuza creator’s new game as the studio anticipates ‘impending closure’
Publisher NetEase has cut funding for Nagoshi Studio's upcoming game, Gang of Dragon, a spiritual successor to the Yakuza series, and the studio anticipates closure. Nagoshi Studio is reportedly seeking new funding sources but has been unsuccessful. This decision comes as NetEase continues to downsize its gaming operations, having previously closed Ouka Studio and laid off staff from Marvel Rivals.
