Game studio Midnight Society has announced its closure and cancellation of the highly anticipated NFT-backed shooter, DEADROP. The decision affects over 55 developers who worked on the project. In a statement, Midnight Society expressed gratitude to its community and apologized for not reaching its ultimate goal.
Founded by Robert Bowling and content creator Dr Disrespect, DEADROP was touted as a “vertical extraction shooter” with blockchain-driven mechanics and NFT features. However, following allegations against Dr Disrespect last year, the studio’s leadership team reevaluated their partnership. The game’s early access snippets showed promise, but ultimately fell short of expectations.
The closure is the latest setback for a project that had garnered significant attention in the gaming industry. As news spreads, fans and developers are left wondering what went wrong and how this decision will impact those affected by the cancellation.
