Gang Of Dragon Developer Has Seemingly Erased Its YouTube Channel
Gang of Dragon, an upcoming PS5 title from Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi’s Nagoshi Studio, faces an uncertain future following significant financial troubles. The game, which debuted at The Game Awards 2025, has been impacted by publisher NetEase’s decision to withdraw funding, with financial support reportedly ending in May 2026.
Recent developments have deepened concerns about the studio’s viability. Nagoshi Studio’s YouTube channel has been taken offline, with the platform displaying an error message stating “This channel does not exist.” While the original Gang of Dragon trailer remains available on The Game Awards’ official YouTube channel, all supplementary content from the studio’s own channel has disappeared. This follows earlier reports questioning the studio’s ability to secure alternative funding.
Despite these troubling signs, the studio’s official website and social media platforms remain active. The deletion of the YouTube channel does not constitute definitive confirmation that the studio is closing or the game is cancelled, but it represents a significant warning indicator. The situation underscores ongoing challenges in game development funding and publishing partnerships. Nagoshi Studio has not publicly addressed the funding situation or provided clarity on Gang of Dragon’s development status, leaving the project’s fate in limbo as the studio seeks alternative financial arrangements.
