“Keep talking about it”: Raw Power Games call for Wishlist aid as they, and their historical strategy sandbox Chronicles: Medieval, lose funding
Raw Power Games says it has lost the funding needed to keep the studio operating, putting its debut game, Chronicles: Medieval, at risk. The independent team includes veterans of The Witcher 3, Total War: Three Kingdoms and Crusader Kings III, and is asking players to keep discussing the game and add it to their Steam Wishlists while it explores possible new investment.
The game was unveiled last year and was reportedly close to its planned early access launch. SteamDB ranked it 26th among games by wishlist activity, unchanged from just before the funding news, while its Steam follower count rose by more than 1,000 in a week. Chronicles: Medieval combines large-scale battles with a strategy and role-playing layer set in 14th-century England.
In short
- Raw Power Games has lost its funding.
- Chronicles: Medieval may be at risk.
- The studio is seeking support and new investment.
Explained simply
Raw Power Games is an independent studio making Chronicles: Medieval, a historical strategy game set in 14th-century England. Its team includes developers who previously worked on The Witcher 3, Total War: Three Kingdoms and Crusader Kings III.
The game combines large battles with strategic decisions and role-playing elements. Raw Power Games has been seeking an early access launch, a version released before a game is finished so players can try it and developers can continue working on it.
Small studios often depend on outside funding to pay for development. Whether the game can proceed may therefore depend on Raw Power Games finding new investment and maintaining interest among potential players.
