Merge Games has announced today that it is closing its doors after 15 years, with its future releases set to be managed by parent company Maximum Entertainment.
The company revealed the news in a statement issued on its X account, as seen below:
Hello!
After 15 years, Merge Games is closing down. Starting from a tiny, cramped attic and growing to a tight, multi-disciplined 22 person team, we’ve brought hundreds of indie gems to storefronts around the world and loved every moment of it!
We couldn’t have done it without people passionate about indie games, from all of our developers all the way to you folks, the players! If you see someone from Merge, just know that they’re an incredible person that worked their hardest.
Thank you for the many years of gaming!
