That’s according to a filing dredged up from the depths of a gov.uk website by Insider Gaming, via Gamingbolt. The Final Gazette (notice that a company has been struck off the government’s register) marks the date of “dissolution” as the 2nd of February this year, though as Insider Gaming notes, no-one from either the studio or publisher Sony appears to have yet commented.That’s likely because most of Ballistic Moon’s workers had already said their goodbyes a month before seeing the game’s October 2024 release. The studio shed what was later confirmed to be a majority of its staff that September, before “quietly” laying off the remaining workers in December. This left just the studio’s founders and “possibly” a “handful” of staff remaining, sources told Insider Gaming at the time. (Image credit: Sony)Ballistic Moon’s leadership was reportedly looking for funding leading up to and following the effective shutdown, which might go some way to explaining why the studio never officially announced or enacted closure until filing the Filing Gazette last November. Insider Gaming’s sources reported a good atmosphere at the studio, despite instances of unpaid overtime amounting to “weeks” of work in some cases.Article continues below You may like Bluepoint Games, Sony’s famed remaster studio, is being closed as the fallout from PlayStation’s disastrous pivot to live service continues Sony killed a fan-made Bloodborne tribute last year, as the game continues to langu
