Zynga suddenly shuts down studio from Diablo and Torchlight creators before they even had a chance to reveal its first original IP
"This decision is part of a stra💞tegic realignment"

Mobile game empire and publisher Zynga is reportedly shutting down 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Torchlight 3 developer Echtra Games by the end of June.
In a statement provided to GamesRadar+ – it's the same statement Zynga sent to IGN, which – a PR representative tells us "Zynga has made the diff🤪icult decision to cease operations at its Echtra studio,♋ ending development on future titles and reducing roles."
.Diablo co-creators and Blizzard North founders Max and Erich Schaefer created Echtra alongside other Blizzard vets in 2016; four years later, the studio released Torchlight 3, its ꦗfirst – and now, only – game.
Since 2021, after being acquired by Zynga – which itself was soon after 澳洲幸运5🐼开奖号码历史查询:acquired by Take-Two for $12.7 billion – Echtra has been working on an unannounced cross-platform RPG alongside NaturalMot𝔍ion.
But NaturalMotion had been struggling under Zynga, too. The studio released the full version of the free-to-play arena shooter 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Hunters last year, though NaturalMotion alཧready plans to after at Zynga.
Last year, Zynga's parent company Take-Two also anno✱unced nearly 600 layoffs and $14🌸0 million in canceled projects.
