As reported Thejournal.Ie (Through VGC), Doom designer John Romero and Vizardry 8 Developer Branda Romero’s studios, Romero Games, publishers for their in-development FPS are completely closed after the return of funding. Former employees have stated that the publisher in the question was Microsoft, who was cutting the Romero Games in the most recent round of tech veteran and another casualty of large -scale trimmed.
We had previously reported on the statement of the Romero Games on the loss of funding, but Thejournal.Ie confirmed the closure and highlighted the situation around it. A former employee told Thejournal.Ie that the Romero Games “held meetings with the publisher a day before this, there was no mention.”
However, Microsoft’s recent retrenchment in the studio and worry of closing the studio were concerned, “it seemed far from us,” said the employee. “The title was very well developed at that time.” Records suggest that Romero Games have appointed 42 people directly, but Thejournal.Ie reported that outdoor employees working on anonymous FPS project brought the total number of more than 100 affected people.
We were not keen on the Sin of the Empire of 2020, the first standalone project of Romero Games. Online editor Fraser Brown realized that it had exciting capacity and ambitions, but that it failed to stick to landing, providing it 49% in their review. However, Sin’s empire made an amazing expansion from developer Moonma last month.
Less frightening informal doom expansion Sigil and Sigil 2 were released by Romero Games in 2018 and 2023 respectively. Megawads have proved in addition to a win for Doom Canon, both of them in the remaster of the original doom of the nightdive with. If the Romero Games’ In-Development FPS may have maintained Sigil’s design excellence in a full-triple-e-FPS, we missed a modern classic in making.
The Romero Games appeared to be gearing up for an announcement before the disaster, which increased its production on social media. Its most exciting part was a “FPS Friday” series on Twitch, including Romero examined other FPS, including the evening of New Blood.
It seems that there is still an unconscious sliver of Asha for Romero Games. “We are trying to find other methods of funding of the project,” the employee interviewed Thejournal. “But for now, it is completely closed, and the studio is closed.” A stunning migration of execution would not be without examples: Last year, Microsoft revived the Tango Gameworks after closing the studio.
