Chinese tech and entertainment giant Tencent has pulled the plug on Team Kaiju.
The developer's closure was first revealed on LinkedIn by former staff posting, with others pointing to the fact the studio's website no longer exists. Tencent's TiMi division has since confirmed Team Kaiju's closure to GamesIndustry.biz.
The studio was established in 2021 and was headed up by 343 Industries and DICE veteran Scott Warner, who was the lead designer on Halo 4. Team Kaiju has attracted talent who had worked on the likes of Apex Legends, Battlefield and Destiny.
"As part of this decision, we’ve moved many of our teammates to other projects within Tencent and TiMi and said goodbye to a few talented teammates," a TiMi spokesperson said.
"TiMi remains committed to making games for global audiences and will continue to hire and work on our other game projects in North America. We thank every member of Team Kaiju for their effort, passion, and professionalism."
