Polyarc Games, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Moss games, has announced it is shutting down.
Polyarc Games, the Seattle studio behind the critically acclaimed Moss series, has announced it is shutting down operations. The announcement, made on LinkedIn, came as a shock to the video game community, marking the end of the studio's 12-year journey. In a post, Polyarc expressed gratitude for the time spent together and the privilege of delighting players with their games.
The studio, which employed 29 individuals including artists, designers, engineers, and more, developed and published its first title, Moss VR, in 2018. The first game received an 8.5/10 from IGN, who praised the storybook action-adventure and its use of VR. A sequel, Moss: Book 2, was released in 2022, also receiving high praise.
In 2023, Polyarc released Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss, a tactical take on the series. The studio's closure follows a series of recent studio closures, including those of Bluepoint Games, Dark Outlaw Games, and Ubisoft's studios.
