Today’s been one of the more awful days for gaming with Microsoft shutting down Arkane Austin (Prey), Tango Gameworks who made one of my favorite games in years with HiFi Rush), and Alpha Dog Games (Mighty Doom). Microsoft also will be moving Roundhouse Studios into ZeniMax Online Studios to work on The Elder Scrolls Online (via The Verge). With Alpha Dog Games shutting down, the official Mighty Doom (Free) Twitter account posted that the game will be shut down on August 7th with development having come to an end for the game. In app purchases have been disabled and there’s a way to request a refund on purchased currency as well linked here.

Mighty Doom finally launched worldwide last year following different stages of soft launches across the world for a few years. I know Jared liked playing Mighty Doom. If you already own the game, you should be able to download it from your purchases, but it has been delisted for new purchases on both iOS and Android. Check out the official website for Mighty Doom here. It was available here on the App Store for iOS and here on Google Play for Android. I hope the folks at the three studios find something. This is all super disappointing to see and I’m really mad about Tango Gameworks especially since HiFi Rush was just ported to PS5 recently where I’ve been playing it again after loving it on Xbox and Steam Deck last year. Did you play Mighty Doom while it was still available?
