Namco closes the 'Tales' studio

Was This Inevitable? The Tales Studio Is Dead

Last summer, Tales producer Makoto Yoshizumi obliquely tweeted, "Meetings and conferences, sleepiness and struggle, it was a day of live or die." That day has come. The Tales Studio is no more.

They've been insolvent for about a year now, but I kinda always figured Namco would turn them around.

Guess not.

Doesn't mean the IP ends of course, but it's always a shame to see any studio shut down.

Such a shame, I loved Tales of Eternia.

I saw this tweet before I saw the story. Should've guessed it was Kotaku

Same thing though for the people who will get the boot as a result.
