Liquid Swords Confirms Samson Studio Has Closed

Liquid Swords, the studio working on the Samson project, has closed. Founder and chief creative officer Christofer Sundberg confirmed the closure in an update on October 19, putting an end to speculation about the team's future.

The announcement is a blunt one. A studio closure usually raises immediate questions about the project it was building, the staff who worked on it, and whether any part of the work will continue elsewhere. Those details were not available in the material this article is based on, and it is not clear from the confirmation what will happen to Samson.

Studio closures in the games industry have been frequent in recent years, and they often arrive with little warning for the people affected. Players following Samson should expect more information from the studio or from Sundberg as it becomes available. We will update this story if further details are confirmed.
