Chronicles: Medieval Developer 'At Real Risk of Closing' Before Release as Funding 'No Longer in Place'

Raw Power Games, a medieval developer, has issued a dire warning that their studio could be forced to shut down before they can release the Early Access version of their ambitious sandbox title, Chronicles: Medieval. In a stark social media post on X, the studio revealed that the funding that had been supporting their operations has now been withdrawn. The message bluntly stated that without this crucial financial backing, Raw Power Games faces an imminent risk of collapse.

The studio's predicament is particularly heartbreaking given how close they are to achieving their goal. The message emphasized that the Early Access stage is within reach, and the game they've been meticulously crafting for years is finally beginning to take on a life of its own. The team's dedication and hard work have been central to this point, often exceeding the expectations placed upon them.

Tom Hardy, the voice of the game, delivered a poignant announcement trailer that garnered over 2 million views on IGN's YouTube channel. The teaser, unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025, showcased the game's visual and tactical prowess, including the impressive scale and detail of battles, as well as the innovative gameplay feature of commanding troops from the ground up.

Despite these promising aspects, Raw Power Games is now urging fans to support them by keeping Chronicles: Medieval on their wishlists and spreading the word. They hope that their fans will understand the gravity of the situation and rally behind the studio to ensure its survival.
