The video game development studio Lince Works, known for creating the Aragami series, is closing its doors. The video game development industry is a relatively volatile place, with many studios working from paycheck to paycheck or project to project in order to survive in a market that has grown significantly over the years, making both success and failure more likely. Unfortunately, Lince Works is now forced to cease its activities from next month.
Reasons for the Closure
Lince Works stated that it has been particularly difficult in recent years as the company worked towards developing new IPs and a new direction. They were ambitious in what they wanted to achieve as a studio, but unfortunately, the economic context was not favorable and they ran out of time. The work they have done in recent years will ultimately not be able to be completed.
Recognition of the Team
Lince Works also expressed its appreciation for its incredible team, who worked hard to bring their games to life. It is with heavy hearts that they must part ways, but they know that they will continue to bring their talent and passion to the industry. They will do their best to help the team find a new place in the industry.
The Future of Lince Works
It is unclear what Lince Works will do in the future, but they are proud of what they have achieved and the memories and experiences they have shared with their team and fans will remain forever. Fans of the Aragami series will be disappointed that no further versions of the game are planned, but the developers have left a big impression on the industry.
Thanks to the Fans
Lince Works is closing its doors and thanks its fans for their support on an exciting journey throughout their nine-year career. The farewell is difficult, but they look forward to what the future holds for their team and the industry.
