Independent game publisher Versus Evil has announced that it will be shutting down. The company, known for titles like the Banner Saga trilogy and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, was founded in 2013 by former ZeniMax Online Studios marketing director Steve Escalante. In a tweet, the company stated, “Today is a sad day. After 10 wonderful years, Versus Evil is closing its doors. We loved bringing you the best indie games we could find and sharing many happy memories with you all, our amazing community! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything!”
According to reports, the entire 13-person team has been laid off by parent company tinyBuild. This news comes shortly after tinyBuild also decided to shut down Hakjak Studios, which was in the process of developing an Early Access game called Pigeon Simulator.
The closure of Versus Evil marks the end of an era for the independent gaming industry, as the publisher has released nearly 40 titles in its relatively short lifespan. The impact of this closure on the gaming community and the future of the games they have published remains to be seen.
