NetEase Drops Funding Threatening Nagoshi's Gang of Dragon PS5 Project
TL;DR Summary
NetEase plans to pull funding from Nagoshi Studio's PS5 game Gang of Dragon, a Yakuza-inspired title, after a strategic shift; employees were informed that funds will stop in May. 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.
