Tencent just killed a fledgling AAA open-world game studio before it could even release anything — "I am genuinely heartbroken"

Delta Force: Hawk Ops.

Tencent, a colossal Chinese multimedia company and the world's largest game publisher, has shut down one of its fledgling game development studios, TiMi Montreal, before it could even release its very first title.

The news comes from Stephen Totilo of Game File, who has reported that a closure for the developer is imminent after his sources have been expecting one to come for weeks.
