Back in August, a massive restructuring took place, and now the game 'Asurajang' from D'zard has announced it is pulling the plug.

D'zard broke the news via their official Steam page on the 2nd. Asurajang, a brawler-style battle royale that launched on March 27, initially found some favour with its roster of over 12 characters and a combat loop centred on combos and parries.

According to the notice, the servers will go dark at 9:00 AM on the 9th, with official channels including Discord and YouTube shutting down simultaneously. D'zard cited 'lacklustre commercial performance and mounting deficits' as the reasons, noting that most of the developers who spent the last three years pouring their hearts into Asurajang are now leaving the company.

This stems from a sudden, massive restructuring back in August that saw around 80% of the staff, from junior to senior levels, let go. The move effectively crippled development for both Asurajang and Princess Maker: The Children of Prophecy. On the 24th, the studio announced that Princess Maker: The Children of Prophecy would be transferred to an external party, leaving the originally planned September and October updates in limbo.

D'zard stated, 'In these circumstances, we concluded that stable service is impossible, leading to the difficult decision to terminate,' adding, 'We are deeply sorry that we could not provide a better conclusion for our players.'
