The hype for Gang of Dragon, the debut game from Nagoshi Studio, may already be getting derailed. According to a Bloomberg report, Chinese tech giant NetEase is going to stop financing Nagoshi Studio starting in May. Bloomberg confirmed the news with the studio’s employees and a NetEase spokesperson.
The report explained that NetEase decided to cut funding to Nagoshi Studio, which was founded in 2021 by Yakuza franchise creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, after finding out the studio needed $44.4 million to complete the project. Bloomberg reported that Nagoshi Studio is trying to find new sponsors but hasn’t had any success so far. The report also added that the studio can continue the project on its own, but would be responsible for paying NetEase for any associated costs to hold onto the brand or assets.
While Nagoshi Studio may have been working on Gang of Dragon since the studio’s creation, the general public got a better look at the title through a trailer announcement during The Game Awards 2025. The action-adventure game set in Tokyo would star Ma Dong-Seok, a South Korean actor who starred in Train to Busan and Marvel’s Eternals. As of now, Nagoshi Studio might be at risk of joining other casualties stemming from NetEase’s executive decisions, like when the tech giant decided to shut down Ouka Studio in 2024.
