Chronicles: Medieval Developer Warns Studio Could Close Before Early Access

Raw Power Games, the developer behind the medieval open-world sandbox Chronicles: Medieval, has warned that it may shut down before it can release the game's Early Access version. In a post on its social media pages, the studio said funding for the team is "no longer in place," and described the situation as a real risk of closure.

The game blends open-world exploration with action and strategy elements, and Early Access was the next planned step in getting it into players' hands. A launch like that is often when a small studio gathers community feedback and begins to see revenue from the project. If the team cannot keep working until then, the game's path forward becomes uncertain, and players who have followed its progress could be left waiting.

The situation is a familiar one for independent developers. Smaller studios typically depend on publisher agreements, crowdfunding, pre-orders, or their own savings to pay staff while a game is in production. When that money runs short, teams are often forced to cut back, pause development, or close entirely, even when the game itself is well along. The studio's wording suggests that its current funding has ended and that it has not yet secured a replacement.

It is important to read the post for what it is. This is a warning, not an announcement that the studio has closed or that the game has been cancelled. The studio has not, in the material available for this report, outlined a timeline or a specific plan for keeping the team together. Players and industry watchers should look to the developer's official channels for updates on funding, a revised schedule, or any new partner that might keep the project alive.
