Warhammer 40K MMO Canceled By Marvel Rivals Publisher

Near the beginning of November, word broke that Marvel Rivals publisher NetEase had shut down Fantastic Pixel Castle, the studio founded by former World of Warcraft lead system designer Greg Street that was working on an MMORPG project called Ghost. Now, NetEase has shut down another developer and ended work on a Warhammer 40K MMO as well.

As reported by Massively Overpowered, Jackalyptic Games--NetEase's first-party studio behind the Warhammer 40K MMO--is being closed and its game has been cancelled. The news was confirmed in a statement by studio head Jack Emmert.

"I'm here to share a note that after nearly three and a half years working with NetEase Games as a first party studio, our partnership will be coming to an end," wrote Emmert in a statement. "As we navigate this transition, our talented team members will be exploring new opportunities. If you're looking for passionate, creative professionals who bring excellence and collaboration to everything they do, please don't hesitate to reach out."
