Indie Publisher Merge Games Shuts Down After 15 Years

The company closes following layoffs and office closure, with its portfolio to be managed by parent company Maximum Entertainment.

Merge Games announced its closure on social media, marking the end of a 15-year run in the indie game publishing industry.
The company grew from a small startup in an attic to a 22-person team, publishing hundreds of indie titles.
Recent layoffs and the closure of Merge Games' Chelford office preceded the shutdown.
Popular titles released by Merge Games include Dead Cells, Darkest Dungeon, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.
Maximum Entertainment, the parent company, will integrate Merge Games' remaining portfolio.
