The Man Who Erased His Game: Nagoshi Studio deletes their YouTube Channel and trailers of Gang of Dragon
You might have heard of Gang of Dragon, the debut game from former SEGA CCO and Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi at his new studio aptly titled Nagoshi Studio. After making a splash at The Game Awards last year, there have been rumors and speculation that the studio is in serious trouble. In March 2026 it was announced that NetEase would cut all funding to Nagoshi Studio, a wider effort on the part of NetEase that has impacted funding to other subsidiary studios.
Now, the Nagoshi Studio YouTube channel has been deleted and the Gang of Dragon trailers are no longer available (outside of third party uploads, of course). While the studio was in trouble before, with it being reported they needed an additional $44 million to complete development, this latest news might spell the end for the studio and their game.
The website for the studio is still up, but between no more funding and deleting their YouTube channel it might not be for long. We’ll share more as we hear it.
