Overview
- Polyarc announced on Friday, September 11, 2026, that it has shut down and is winding down active development, posting the news on its official LinkedIn page.
- The company thanked staff in its message, wrote “our work is now finished,” and shared a reverse‑recruiting spreadsheet with contact details for employees.
- The closure follows a round of mass layoffs in March 2026 that came after a major project was cancelled and follow‑on funding could not be secured.
- Polyarc built its reputation with the VR title Moss (2018) and its sequel Moss: Book II, later releasing non‑VR editions and developing a live‑service spin‑off called Glassbreakers.
- The announcement leaves key questions unanswered about the fate of Polyarc’s assets and intellectual property and could push experienced developers from the studio into the wider industry this year.
