Wizard with a Gun developer Galvanic Games president and founder Patrick Morgan announced that the studio has officially shut down. Morgan stated that “despite the promising start of Wizard with a Gun, sales are not strong enough” to sustain the studio. However, he also claims that “the dedication, creativity, and hard work of every person on our team have been nothing short of extraordinary.” Wizard with a Gun launched on October 16, 2023 and is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.The full message regarding the studio’s closure:Dear Friends and Fans,It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of Galvanic Games. Despite the promising start of Wizard with a Gun, sales are not strong enough to sustain our studio. The last year has been particularly tough for games. While we had numerous encouraging conversations at DICE and GDC, the process of signing new projects, even in a good year, takes longer than the runway we had left.Working with Devolver Digital was a dream come true for us. Together, we created a game I’m incredibly proud of. There is a certain bittersweetness to knowing that we accomplished all the things we set out to do when we founded Galvanic in 2015. From launching unique, weird, and interesting games to collaborating with some of my favorite people in the industry all while building a tight-knit, productive team focused on a healthy and creative culture.However, it is incredibly difficult to see our team facing the uncertainty of the current job market. I may never get over the irony of spending a decade building my ideal team, only for it to end after our most productive year. The dedication, creativity, and hard work of every person on our team have been nothing short of extraordinary.To support our team members during this transition, I will be attaching a list of those who requested visibility on their LinkedIn resumes and portfolios. If you have opportunities or know of any, please consider these incredibly talented individuals.Thank you for the support and memories. We are grateful for the journey and hope that our paths will cross again in the future.
