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.

The project reportedly needs about ¥7 billion ($44 million) to finish, and while NetEase isn’t opposed to independent development, the publisher would require repayment for work already completed. A new publisher could potentially salvage the project, but the odds look uncertain unless someone steps in.

Marvel Rivals to curb farming exploits with new behavior-detection system
