Nagoshi Studio Crumbles as NetEase Pulls Funding and Co-founder Exits
Nagoshi Studios, the outfit founded by Toshihiro Nagoshi and Daisuke Sato after leaving Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, appears to be nearing its end after NetEase reportedly pulled funding for its debut game Gang of Dragon; with the studio's website inactive, offices listed as permanently closed, and Sato now identifying as ex-Nagoshi Studio, the future of the project remains uncertain, and Kotaku has sought comment from both NetEase and Nagoshi Studios.
