The loss of Dead Island 2 was "catastrophic," says MD Timo Ullmann, but the German studio weathered the storm and is now focused on the future
Yager Development is giving back to the community of The Cycle, literally. With the second edition of the game is in closed beta testing at the moment, the first edition is now gone forever, having shuttered yesterday.
From VentureBeat: "Tencent is making another big move in the gaming space. The Chinese megaconglomerate is investing an undisclosed amount of capital in Berlin-based game studio Yager Development. This influx of cash is going to help Yager expand its self-publishing efforts. It’s also going to enable the studio to continue work on its current project, competitive quest-based shooter The Cycle."
Damn, Tencent are putting their grubby little fingers on every game studio they can. I hope they remaster Spec Ops: The Line, this was such an underrated game at it's time of release.
Tencent is a seemingly terrible corporation, but if it means a remaster or sequel of Spec Ops: The Line, then at least it won't be a total loss.
To be fair the studio hasn’t really done anything since Spec Ops so not that much of a big deal to me.
