Darkwood dev announces '5-10 years' hiatus just months after revealing new game

Acid Wizard Studios - the developer behind 2017's stupendous top-down survival horror Darkwood - has announced an indefinite, years-long hiatus, just months after unveiling its first new game in half a decade, Soccer Kids.

Darkwood initially released into Steam early access back in 2014, quickly becoming a horror favourite with its strange, oppressive atmosphere and strikingly effective presentation, but following its full release in 2017 and a period of patching, Acid Wizard all but vanished.that its absence was a result of Darkwood's intense five-year development which, it said,"took a toll on us, both mentally and physically.

"We haven't been able to create a work environment that would not be destructive to our personal lives," it explained."Our families are our top priority and they should not be affected negatively by our work. So ultimately we decided that it would be best if we part ways, with a possibility of returning in 5-10 years when we get our shit together."

Acid Wizard says its hiatus will begin after the release of a new Darkwood update - introducing the likes of improved performance, Steam Cloud support, improved controller support, and more - but insists it isn't"disappearing into thin air and would like [its] games to live on." "We have been talking to some amazing people who could make a sequel for Darkwood and continue working on Soccer Kids," it explains."So spread the word - if you're a developer/publisher who's interested in working on those IPs, hit us up!"From Assassin's Creed to Zoo Tycoon, we welcome all gamers
