As Chinese games continue to take off domestically, game development and tech conglomerates are reportedly reconsidering their investment in foreign markets. This has now resulted in the alleged shutdown of Ouka Studios, developer of Visions of Mana, which is seeing massive layoffs merely a day after the game was released.

According to a Bloomberg report from today, Aug. 30, Tencent and Ouka Studios owner NetEase are allegedly “reconsidering or scaling back many of their investments in Japanese studios.” The Tokyo-based developer only retains a “handful of jobs” at the moment, supposedly so the “rollout of its final games” can be completed before the studio shuts down entirely. Visions of Mana has been well-received by the community, sporting thousands of players and nearly 90 percent positive reviews on Steam.
