Looter slasher Godfall may not be anyone’s favourite game by any means, but the widely criticized action RPG’s developer seems to have met an unfortunate fate. As per a report published by PlayStation Lifestyle, California-based studio Counterplay Games has shut down.

The report cites a LinkedIn post by a developer working at NetEase-owned studio Jackalyptic Games, which was allegedly working on an unknown project in collaboration with Counterplay Games. As per the post in question, the latter had been working on the project over the last six months but was recently “disbanded”.

“Over the past six months or so, our project at Jackalyptic has been supercharged by the world-class devs at Counterplay Games,” the post reads. “It’s impossible to overstate their impact. From the very first day, they put their shoulders to the wheel like it was their baby. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue our partnership into the new year, and CPG was disbanded.”

Godfall released in 2020 for PS5 and PC before coming to PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One over the following years. As per the studio’s website, it had a team of over 140 employees. Counterplay Games itself has yet to provide any official communication on its closure. Job listings in 2022 suggested the developer had started working on its next project, a AAA co-op “action fantasy shooter,” though there have been no updates.
