The Story Of Ragtag & Visceral Games
A week ago a friend of mine reached out to me. Visceral Games was no more. The people behind the Dead Space series were shutdown. Something that was done by EA, which again made it look like the villain boss. Only looking at the numbers, never at the passion.
With the closing of Visceral, an unnamed Star Wars game got slain. Thankfully Kotaku went in, and did some reporting. Using their connections they tell a story of a troubled game that never got the support it need at a studio that was in turmoil ever since their last Dead Space. A must read.
The Collapse Of Visceral’s Ambitious Star Wars Game
It seemed like a surefire hit: a Star Wars take on Uncharted, published by Electronic Arts and developed by the longrunning studio Visceral Games. But nothing is sure in the video game industry, and on October 17, 2017, when employees of Visceral were told that the company would be closing, some who had worked for the studio found themselves unsurprised. In many people’s eyes, doom was inevitable.
