## Summary

Raw Power Games entered bankruptcy on the same day it announced that withdrawn funding put it at risk of closing. Coffee Stain has bought the intellectual property for Chronicles: Medieval and will fund continued development, giving the strategy game a path forward despite its developer’s financial collapse.

Coffee Stain paid 36.75 million Danish kroner, about $5.42 million, for the game’s assets. They will be held by a new company owned 75% by Coffee Stain and 25% by a small group of original team members. The future of Raw Power’s wider staff and the game’s planned 2027 early access release remain unclear; Coffee Stain says it will share plans later.
