NetEase pulls funding from Yakuza creator's Nagoshi Studio, risking Gang of Dragon

Bloomberg reports NetEase will stop funding Nagoshi Studio in May after the studio reportedly needed about $44.4 million to finish Gang of Dragon, threatening the studio and its debut game. Nagoshi Studio is seeking new sponsors but has yet to secure any, and could continue but would have to pay NetEase to retain branding/assets. The project has been showcased at The Game Awards 2025, and NetEase’s move follows the 2024 shutdown of Ouka Studio.

Yakuza's GOG release under fire for missing key developer credits.

The Yakuza Complete Series on GOG is missing credits for key developers and support studios, including series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Daisuke Sato. The severity of the changes means that the GOG credits end up being notably shorter than the credits for the Yakuza releases on Steam, despite using a bigger font and wider spacing. The Steam versions remain unchanged, with the credits listed in full. The removal of credits has been criticized as unnecessary and disrespectful to the people who worked on these games.
