Overview
- Ivy Road, the studio behind Wanderstop, will close Tuesday, March 31, 2026, after it could not land a publisher for its follow-up project.
- The team said raising money for games is especially difficult right now and that the concept, called Engine Angel, could not secure a deal.
- Ivy Road shared a short concept clip for Engine Angel that suggests a whimsical car-combat style, though the design was not confirmed.
- Wanderstop will stay on sale for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, and publisher Annapurna Interactive plans to share how it will bring the game to more players.
- The studio directed potential employers to a Bluesky hiring thread as many developers now seek new roles, and it noted its roster includes creators like Davey Wreden, Karla Zimonja, and composer Daniel “C418” Rosenfeld.
