Mimimi Games has been creating games for the last 15 years, giving us strategy titles like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and Desperados III, but now that its latest title is out and players can unlock the Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew achievements, Mimimi will begin closing down. Mimimi Games executives will begin closing the studio in the coming monthsA statement was posted on Mimimi Games’ site (heading there now appears to result in an error), in which the studio’s executives announced that the fantasy pirate game, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, will be its last title. The studio will continue to support Shadow Gambit — which launched on Xbox Series X|S on August 17 — with post-launch updates and a content drop later this year, but will begin “slowly ramping down the studio over the next few months.” “As we look back at our 15-year journey crafting games (and crying about it). we feel grateful for the incredible love and support we received from all of you. We cherished every game we made and feel proud of what we were able to accomplish as a studio,” the statement reads. “At the same time, dedicating the past decade and a half of our lives working on increasingly ambitious games took a heavy personal toll on us and our families. After the release of Shadow Gambit we decided it was the right time to prioritize our well-being and to pull the brakes instead of signing up for another multi-year production cycle.”As Mimimi begins to close down, it’s looking for other studios to take on its team, and due to the sales of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, it’s able to pay out bonuses to help its employees with the transition. An on-site meeting was held to notify everyone of the coming closure ahead of the public statement’s release. “We are now focused on delivering the additional content for Shadow Gambit and fulfilling our duties as managing directors of the company — to our team, our fans, and our business partners, in the most supportive way we can. And while we don’t know what the future will hold for the both of us, we still love video games,” Mimimi Games co-founders Dominik Abé and Johannes Roth said. “We had a really good run and we are truly grateful for all of this!”
