Well this is certainly unexpected. Mimimi Games developer of games including Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III and the recently launched Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew will be closing up.
I'm honestly shocked by this one, as they made some really great games in a genre that not many other developers are doing (or not doing well). Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew also only just launched on August 17th to pretty glowing reviews from many publications and videos.
This just goes to show how difficult the games industry is, even for reasonably known names like Mimimi Games who made games that had great reviews.

In the announcement they said their increasingly ambitious games "took a heavy personal toll on us and our families" and so they're going to "prioritize our well-being and to pull the brakes instead of signing up for another multi-year production cycle" so Shadow Gambit was their last game. They'll still continue support for Shadow Gambit with patches but no more games will be made.
You can find their games on:

But seriously, this sucks. Their games are cool.

I hope they get better with the support of professionals and their family, and wish them the best in the future. Shadow Gambit it's on my wishlist, and will be purchasing after I finish BG3.

If I had to guess based on current events and their veiled response I would guess interfamily death & illness have shaken enough of them up to take a toll.
Hats off to them for their work, and condolences for whatever hardships they are navigating.
I can't read their announcement, their website is broken right now...
Just bought it to show my support as I love pirate games. Best of luck to them all going forward.
