BlazBlue Entropy Effect developer 91Act Shares full story on near studio closure


Our 1.0 anniversary is coming up! To celebrate we're releasing our biggest ever update AND a new Character DLC! Check out Steam post for a preview + the true story about how our studio very nearly died after the 1.0 release. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2273430/view/503939669868675591

WHAT'S THE STORY?


On 31st Jan 2024, just 10 days before Chinese New Year that year, we finished the Early Access and launched the 1.0 version of BBEE.

For a studio that had spent 10 years developing mobile games, this was by far our greatest professional moment – creating an excellent PC action game was just an absolutely wild dream for us! It's still sometimes hard for us to believe it.

But, we (well, mainly I and the shareholders) had to decide to shut down the studio on 5th February 2024, just 5 days after launch and only 5 days before the Chinese New Year holidays.

You're probably asking yourself why? Why did we have to shut down the studio while the game was doing well? How are we still updating the game now?

We've never told this story to players outside of China before, although some of you may have heard bits and pieces, but at this special point - the anniversary of 1.0 launch - we’d like to share our experience with you and express our unending gratitude of your support.
 
I bet it was Gamepass.
