Copenhagen developer Raw Power Games announced on October 30 that it lost its funding and is at risk of closing, Fandom Pulse reported. The studio is currently developing Chronicles Medieval, a medieval sandbox role-playing game where players explore open worlds with complete freedom. The potential closure threatens to halt development on the title before its release, according to Inven Global, Insider Gaming, Simulation Daily, and TechRaptor. [1][3][4][5][6]

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. Raw Power Games did not name its funder or explain why the funding was withdrawn, according to Fandom Pulse. [1][5]

Inven Global reported that the developer faces closure before the game enters early access, a stage where unfinished games are made playable to the public to raise funds during development. 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]
