NetEase has officially pulled funding from Nagoshi Studio, the team led by Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, putting the future of their debut title Gang of Dragon at serious risk. According to Bloomberg and multiple gaming outlets, employees were informed that NetEase will cease all funding in May 2026, leaving the studio without the additional ¥7 billion (~$44.4 million) needed to complete the game.
Gang of Dragon, revealed just three months ago at The Game Awards, now faces potential cancellation unless a new publisher steps in. Reports indicate that the rising development costs triggered NetEase’s decision, and the studio may even face closure if no alternative funding is secured.
The situation has sparked widespread concern among fans, many of whom were excited to see Nagoshi’s first major project since leaving Sega.
