In a surprising turn of events, Romero Games has publicly denied reports of its closure, despite facing significant challenges after losing funding for its unannounced first-person shooter project. The studio, founded by gaming legends John and Brenda Romero, has stated that it is actively exploring new publishing opportunities to revive its project, which was abruptly canceled after a deal with Microsoft fell through. The studio’s recent statement emphasizes that it is not shutting down and has received interest from several publishers willing to help bring the game to completion.
