The development team stated in a public message posted to social media platform X that the necessary funding behind the studio is no longer in place due to circumstances outside its control, Fandom Pulse and Simulation Daily reported. The studio explained that it cannot continue building Chronicles Medieval without financial backing.

TechRaptor added that the game is potentially cancelled if new backing cannot be secured. The studio opened its public letter by calling it the hardest message the team has ever had to write to its audience, according to Fandom Pulse. [1][3][6]
