Studio known for anti-capitalists closed by their publisher just two weeks before their newest game

Comedy developers at work Not! More and RogueLike anti-setting Reignbreaker They close, and the news comes just two weeks before their last Punk action game appears. Studio Fizbin was struck by the ongoing discounts of the Mother Company Thunderful, they say, and despite the fact that he threw tracking projects to work after the launch of Reignbreaker, none of them will go further. Which means that they will end at the exact time, you would hope that they will celebrate a refund from the work years.

“Our company -the mother of Thunderul made the decision to drastically reduce the internal development in November 2024, which, as Thunderful’s CEO communicated, Martin in the latest quarterly report, also affected the Fizbin studio,” said the founder of Alexander Pieper in a statement on the studio websiteAs he noticed Gamedevelooper. “Since then, we have explored various opportunities to work after I finished Reignbreaker. Unfortunately, none of these projects will go further, which has led us to make this difficult decision.

“This means Reignbreaker will be the last game of Studio Physbin.”

Thunder’s publishers recently reduced 80-100 jobs in their studiosAnd he said that they will now focus on publishing games by external studios, rather than developing their own. It seems that the full effects of this decision is now felt.

When James He played his top monarch chaingunnery He mentioned “bright isometric struggles” and “interrupted for a discussion with a charismatic character, full of love, probably, probably, a flirting side”. Sounds familiar? James thought so. “It’s very, very hade,” he said.

Regarding the theme, it is a response to “the growth of right -wing authoritarianism, the division and exploitation of the growing class,” according to the community manager, Ian Stewart. If any of them sound intriguing you can play Demo on Steam you. The game is to be released on March 18th.

Before this physiobin studio makes a lot of games that were well appreciated by RPS staff, such as Point and Click Adventure The inner worldPuzzle platform drawn manually The minute of the islandsand the anti -capitalist comedy refuses them Not! More which Alice B (RPS in peace) called “short, but immensely satisfying.” Here is a fragment of her thoughts:

It throws universal surrender as a global, systemic and at the same time, being realistic and establishing borders for a path to make everyone healthy and happy. But not in a preaching way. In an absurd way.

Fizbin will spend his time remaining as a studio that works to send the game, says Pieper, as well as providing post-launch support for ReignBreaker and will support workers in finding new works.
