I grew up playing Monolith Productions' games, so news that this 30 year old developer is being closed for a "strategic change in direction" is another kick in the teeth to anyone who loves creative, technical games and design.
Monolith joins other studio closures since Covid, and it's why many devs opted for Unreal Engine 5 and launching smaller, niche game studios. And why many artists are picking up the best game development software and making smaller, interesting games. So what's going on?
