Nagoshi Studio, founded by Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, has been dissolved after NetEase pulled its funding earlier this year.

• Closure: According to Gematsu, a Japanese government gazette notice on October 31 says the studio was "officially dissolved by a shareholders' resolution."
• Funding: NetEase confirmed in March 2026 that it had cut funding, without giving reasons or exit terms. It estimated at least ¥7 billion ($44.4 million) more was needed to finish Gang of Dragon.
• Aftermath: The developer reportedly failed to find new sponsors. NetEase said it could continue alone but would have to cover the costs of keeping the assets or brand.

Another NetEase partner, Grasshopper Manufacture, went independent in September instead.
