Less than a year after the announcement of their first game, and only four years after the studio's creation, Gang of Dragon developers Nagoshi Studio have been dissolved by a shareholders' resolution (thanks, Gematsu .)

Rock Paper Shotgun reports that the creators of the popular "Like a Dragon" series have been forced to close their new studio, Nagoshi Studio, due to financial difficulties. The studio was founded just four years ago and had only just released their debut game, "Gang of Dragon," at the Game Awards last year. Despite featuring realistic visuals, combat, and exploration similar to their established series, as well as the involvement of actor Ma Dong-seok, the studio was unable to secure alternative funding after NetEase, their primary source of funding, pulled out due to ballooning costs.
With the studio now dissolved and "Gang of Dragon" cancelled, fans of the "Like a Dragon" series are left with a bittersweet taste as they mourn the loss of a promising new project.
