Nagoshi Studio's website is unavailable, a founding producer has publicly listed himself as former staff, and parent company NetEase Games reportedly cut funding in May. The studio has not confirmed closure or cancellation of its announced game.
Nagoshi Studio was founded by Toshihiro Nagoshi as a subsidiary of NetEase Games. In December 2025, the studio announced its debut title, Gang of Dragon. By June 2026, the studio's official website was no longer available.
Producer and director Daisuke Sato, a founding member of the studio, changed his X profile to read "Former Nagoshi Studio" in mid-June 2026. Days later, he updated his social media profiles to describe himself as an "ex-Nagoshi Studio" employee. The personnel change followed a Bloomberg report that parent company NetEase Games cut funding for the studio in May 2026.
As of the most recent reports, Nagoshi Studio has not issued an official statement on its status or on the fate of Gang of Dragon. The studio's website remains unavailable, and Sato's profile change is the strongest personnel signal that the studio may be winding down.
