游戏工作室 Midnight Society 倒闭，取消游戏开发

Dr. Disrespect's Midnight Society Shuts Down, Cancels Deadrop

Gaming studio Midnight Society, co-founded by streamer Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, has announced its closure and the cancellation of its anticipated FPS game, Deadrop.

The studio shared the news via X, stating, "Today we're announcing Midnight Society's closure after three years, with a talented team of over 55 developers." The announcement included a plea for employment opportunities for its team members.

Midnight Society was established by Beahm alongside industry veterans Robert Bowling (Call of Duty) and Quinn Delhoy (Halo). Deadrop, their flagship free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter, aimed for a 2024 release but ultimately fell short.

The studio parted ways with Beahm in 2024 following controversies surrounding inappropriate messages exchanged with a minor via Twitch Whispers. Despite this, development on Deadrop continued until the recent shutdown.

Deadrop was set in a unique, 80s-inspired fictional universe. Promotional materials showcased characters sporting Daft Punk-esque helmets and wielding a mix of firearms and melee weapons.

Midnight Society's closure adds to the growing list of game studios facing challenges and downsizing, mirroring difficulties experienced by larger companies like Ubisoft, BioWare, and Phoenix Labs.
