Worlds Untold, a game development studio based in Canada, has announced a temporary halt to its operations. This unexpected decision was shared by the company in a LinkedIn post, where they also mentioned actively seeking a new partner to move forward. Known for being led by Mac Walters, a veteran from BioWare, Worlds Untold made its debut in November 2023. Initially, the studio was supported by NetEase, a Chinese gaming powerhouse. We’ve reached out to NetEase for comments to understand the current status of this collaboration.
“This wasn’t a decision made in haste—it’s been an intensely personal journey, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together as a team,” said the studio in their LinkedIn statement.
During this pause, the talented individuals at Worlds Untold will be exploring new ventures. If you’re in search of dedicated and gifted professionals, don’t hesitate to reach out. It would be an honor to introduce you to some of the finest people I’ve had the privilege to work with.
For those involved, this moment is undeniably tough, but I am profoundly thankful for the backing of our partners, friends, and family. I also cherish every moment spent with the team at Worlds Untold. Although we’re taking a break for now, this is not the end—there are promising things on the horizon, and we’re excited to bring you along in the next chapter when the time is right.
