Report: Steelrising Studio Spiders Shutting Down Just Six Weeks After The Launch Of GreedFall 2

Paris-based developer Spiders released its latest RPG, GreedFall 2: The Dying World, just six weeks ago, back in March, and it might be the studio’s last game. That’s because, according to a new report from French outlet Origami, Spiders will soon close its doors. 

Origami reports its sources say the studio will shut down after Spiders’ publisher, Nacon, was unable to find a buyer for the game maker following a filing for insolvency last month. The publication reports that the court-appointed administrator overseeing Nacon’s restructuring will request Spiders’ liquidation before the commercial court tomorrow, a move its sources say is a mere formality at this stage, according to Google Translate’s transcription of the article. 

Within the studio, developers have been updating resumes and holding “self-study sessions” in place of working on games, according to Origami.

Game Informer has reached out to Spiders for confirmation and comment, and will update this story if it learns more.
