Worlds Untold, the Canadian game development studio, has recently announced a temporary halt in its operations.
In a LinkedIn post, the company shared its ongoing efforts to find a new partner. The studio, which came into the spotlight in November 2023, is led by industry veteran Mac Walters from BioWare. Initially, they had the backing of Chinese gaming powerhouse NetEase. We’ve reached out to NetEase for clarity on the status of this partnership.
Reflecting on this pivotal decision, Worlds Untold expressed, “It wasn’t easy for us to arrive at this choice—it’s been a truly personal journey, and we take immense pride in what our team has achieved together,” as shared on LinkedIn.
During this pause, the talented individuals at Worlds Untold will pursue new opportunities. If you’re on the lookout for passionate and skilled professionals, the studio welcomes you to get in touch—it’s a privilege to introduce you to some of the most remarkable colleagues I have ever had the chance to work with.
This situation is undoubtedly disheartening for everyone involved, yet there’s immense gratitude for the unwavering support from partners, friends, family, and the valuable time spent at Worlds Untold. Although they’re taking a step back for now, it’s not a permanent farewell—there’s more on the horizon, and they look forward to unveiling the next chapter when the moment is right.
