We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it’s important to set the record straight.
• The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.
• Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher’s identity, though some may infer it from public information.
• As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.
• Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.
• We’ve been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we’re currently evaluating those opportunities.
We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.

It’d be funny watching Microsoft continually step on rakes left right and center if there weren’t so many people’s jobs on the line. It’s pathetic behavior from them
Yeah, it sucks for the people who lose jobs. OTOH after the ABK takeover, Microsoft was suddenly by far the biggest games publisher and no regulatory body had any problems with it. Now Microsoft’s own incompetence is taking care of that.
