Yakuza Creator's Promising PS5 Game 'Gang of Dragon' at Risk as NetEase Cuts Funding

July 11, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

NetEase has reportedly decided to withdraw its financial support for Toshihiro Nagoshi’s ambitious new project, *Gang of Dragon*. This title, envisioned as a spiritual successor to the popular *Yakuza* series, now faces an uncertain future. Industry veteran Nagoshi, known for his groundbreaking work at SEGA, established his own studio in 2021 with the backing of the Chinese tech giant. However, recent strategic shifts within NetEase have led the company to cease funding several AAA productions, and it appears Nagoshi Studio's promising PS5 game is unfortunately among those affected.
