Battlefield veteran David Goldfarb’s studio, The Outsiders, is closing down, but Goldfarb and the team are “not giving up.”
In a statement, Goldfarb said The Outsider is shutting up shop as part of wider cuts at studio owner Funcom. The Outsiders, which was founded in 2015, had a close call at closing up shop when the studio’s other game, Darkborn, was canceled in 2020, Goldfarb said. After that game didn’t make it, Funcom took a majority ownership of The Outsiders. The studio then released the rhythm-action game Metal: Hellsinger in 2022.
“It will always be a high point for me personally and I will be forever grateful we got to make it and for the wonderful team and partnerships that made it happen,” Goldfarb said.
It’s always tough to hear about a studio shutting down, especially one with such a dedicated team behind it. It’s encouraging to see that David Goldfarb and the team are determined to keep pushing forward. Wishing them all the best in their future endeavors!
