DON'T NOD studio is under threat of closure

The company is facing serious financial problems.

DON'T NOD is facing serious financial problems. In its report for the first half of 2026, the company admitted that its continued existence largely depends on attracting external funding. Without new cash injections, the developer may not be able to continue operations after January 31, 2027.

DON'T NOD's operating profit plummeted by 56% compared to the same period in 2025, amounting to only €6.1 million. Revenue also decreased by 14% to €6.1 million.

The company attributes the deteriorating situation to the general crisis in the gaming industry and, in particular, to investors becoming significantly more cautious about funding new projects.

To try to avoid the worst-case scenario, DON'T NOD plans to undergo a major restructuring. The company intends to cut costs and change its production process to release games more regularly and allocate existing resources more efficiently.

However, these changes will also have a very unpleasant side: up to 90 employees may be laid off.

Since 2020, DON'T NOD has released Twin Mirror, Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, Jusant, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and Aphelion.
