Fortis Games läggs ned, 440 utvecklare mister jobbet

Twilight Towers: en vit drake med orangea vingar blåser isande andedräkt över ett rutnät med torn, medan en grön drake flyger mot ett slott bland berg och skog.

Kalifornien-baserade Fortis Games grundades i början av 2022 av EA-veteranerna Steven Chiang, Shawn Foust samt Calvin Lau och med ekonomiska muskler via Las Vegas Sands köpte de på kort tid upp studios såsom Oktagon Games, Doppio Games och Metagame, rullade ut mobilspelssuccén Twilight Towers och på Bloom & Breakfast / Mergemon Wilds. Det står nu klart att studion stängs ned och att deras spel plockas bort från App store, och alla andra plattformar där de finns för nedladdning.

”We have been fortunate to work with some of the most talented and dedicated people in this space. As we move forward, our primary focus will be on helping this talented team of individuals find new opportunities. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past five years.”

NO MORE FORTIS

"Super proud of the work we’ve done. LVS’s decision does not delete the ground breaking and best-in class agentic development workflow the Octopus team has built, nor the massively solid soft launch metrics both our projects were achieving in such early stages of development. Ah, Fortis Games — what could have been. Despite our unique, community-focused approach to the mobile games market, we just couldn't seem to get off the ground, and today, we finally ran out of runway. The company has officially shuttered, abruptly putting more than 400 talented people out of work (myself included). Hilariously, I'm also in the process of relocating to Los Angeles, so hey, why not add a little more change on top, right?"
