Report: Godfall maker Counterplay has shut down

The developer of Godfall, Counterplay, has reportedly closed its doors. 

That's according to PlayStation Lifestyle, which spotted a post on LinkedIn saying that the studio had been "disbanded". This followed a deal with Jackalyptic falling through. 

Counterplay is yet to officially address this news and has even edited the original post to remove the reference to the studio closing. 

"Over the past six months or so our project at Jackalyptic has been supercharged by the world-class devs at Counterplay Games," the studio wrote.

"It's impossible to overstate their impact. From the very first day they put their shoulders to the wheels like it was their baby.

"Unfortunately, we were unable to continue our partnership into the new year and [Counterplay Games] was disbanded." 

Counterplay launched Godfall in November 2020.
