Yet, Game Republic’s Knights Contract is still getting promoted in Japan, garnering a huge splash on Famitsu. Namco Bandai, the game’s publisher, is the only game company listed, and Famitsu, a relentless cruncher of press releases, hasn’t posted any notice of the studio’s dissolution.
This is all rather sad or scary—take your pick.
