After Almost 20 Years, This Prolific RPG Studio Is Shutting Down

Greedfall: The Dying World developer Spiders has confirmed that it is officially shutting down. The Paris-based studio says that it is being liquidated, with operations ceasing immediately.

"We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated," the studio said in a statement. "This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years."

The shutdown comes in the wake of Spiders' parent company Nacon filing for insolvency after the majority shareholder in the publisher, Bigben Interactive, began experiencing financial difficulties of its own. The Greedfall: The Dying World DLC will still be released--through Nacon--and the Spiders Discord channel will be handed over to the community, the studio added.
