Nagoshi Studio Faces Potential Closure After Funding Cut
名越工作室因資金削減面臨倒閉危機
Nagoshi Studio, founded in 2021 by legendary developer Toshihiro Nagoshi, is currently facing a critical turning point.
由傳奇開發者名越稔洋於2021年創立的名越工作室，目前正面臨關鍵的轉捩點。
Following his departure from Sega, Nagoshi aimed to create high-quality console games for a global audience.
在離開世嘉後，名越先生致力於為全球觀眾打造高品質的主機遊戲。
NetEase, the primary financial backer, has announced it will stop funding the studio in May 2026.
其主要財務支持者網易已宣布將於2026年5月停止對該工作室的資助。
This decision stems from the massive financial needs of the studio's debut project, Gang of Dragon, which requires an additional ¥7 billion ($44.4 million USD) to finish.
此項決定源於該工作室首部作品《龍之幫派》(Gang of Dragon)巨大的資金需求，該項目還需要額外70億日圓（約4440萬美元）才能完成。
While the project was teased recently at The Game Awards, its development is now in jeopardy.
儘管該項目近期在遊戲大獎上進行了預告，但其開發工作如今岌岌可危。
NetEase has offered the studio independence, but to retain the rights to its brand and game assets, Nagoshi Studio must secure funds for a buyout.
網易已向該工作室提供獨立經營的機會，但若想保留品牌與遊戲資產的權利，名越工作室必須籌集資金進行收購。
This situation highlights a broader trend of restructuring at NetEase, which has been scaling back its international operations.
此情況突顯了網易更廣泛的重組趨勢，即縮減其國際業務。
