NetEase Games studio Worlds Untold ‘pauses operations’ as it seeks new partner

As a seasoned gamer with a heart for intricate narratives and immersive worlds, I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy upon hearing about the pause in operations at Worlds Untold. Having been captivated by Mac Walters’ work on the Mass Effect series, I was eagerly anticipating the near-future action adventure game that this studio was developing.


In a recent LinkedIn post, Worlds Untold – a studio founded by Mass Effect series writer Mac Walters, which joined the NetEase Games family in November 2023, has announced they will temporarily halt their operations. They are actively seeking a new collaborator as they were working on an engaging near-future action-adventure game, featuring a stunning world teeming with mystery and exploration.

Walter shared that we’ve had to temporarily halt operations at Worlds Untold, as we seek a collaborator who can help us realize our vision. This wasn’t an easy choice; it’s been a heartfelt process, and each member of the team is incredibly proud of what we’ve collectively achieved together.

In simpler terms, although they didn’t officially declare it as a shutdown, the studio is now assisting its employees in finding work with other companies and exploring fresh ventures.

Walters added, “This is a sorrowful moment for all of us, but I’m profoundly thankful for the assistance of our associates, companions, and kin, and for the shared experiences at Worlds Untold. For now, we’re taking a break, but this isn’t farewell—there’s more to unfold, and we eagerly anticipate revealing the next phase with you when the moment is ripe.
