Indie studio The Chinese Room, which worked on Still Wakes the Deep, Dear Esther, and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, has announced the completion of a management buyout from its former parent company Sumo Digital. The studio has returned to independent status under the leadership of director Ed Daly, backed by venture capital firm Hiro Capital.
The Chinese Room confirmed that it is working on two new original projects. However, its next release will be Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, being developed in partnership with Paradox Interactive and scheduled for October 2025.
