Ty the Tasmanian Tiger developer Krome Studios will close their doors this coming Monday, it’s being reported today. The news came after Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert tweeted about the studio closing down.
Back in August, it was reported that the Australian studio had layed off staff at their Melbourne and Brisbane studios, as well as closed down their Adelaide studio. Krome Studios CEO, Robert Walsh, refused to confirm claims that the aforementioned lay-offs were “pretty out of control“.
The studio’s most recent title, Blade Kitten, released across PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC late last month. The title received mainly poor reviews.
It’s sad to see another developer shut down and so many jobs lost. The studio employed over 200 developers. If it means anything, Dylan Cuthbert is offering those layed off at Krome a chance to join Q-Games, if they’re willing to travel to Kyoto, that is.
Thanks, Vooks.
