Overview

• Development of Revenant Hill, the much-awaited follow-up game to Night in the Woods, has been canceled due to severe health issues of the game's narrative designer, writer and co-creator of Night in the Woods, Scott Benson.
• Scott Benson was diagnosed with severe heart failure with an impact on his ability to work, causing him to step back from the project. Fellow co-founder and Benson's wife Bethany Hockenberry also stepped away from the project to support him.
• The team's inability to replace the integral roles performed by Benson and Hockenberry led to the decision to not only end the development of Revenant Hill but also to suspend studio operations.
• Revenant Hill was being developed by The Glory Society, which was founded by Benson, Hockenberry, and musician/artist Wren Farren following the success of Night in the Woods.
• The cancellation of Revenant Hill and the suspension of operations by The Glory Society highlight the precarious nature of indie developments that often hinge on the contributions of key individuals.
