Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by popular streamer Guy 'Dr. Disrespect' Beahm, has announced the closure of its operations and the cancellation of its highly anticipated FPS game, Deadrop. In a post on X, the studio shared, "Today we are announcing Midnight Society will be closing its doors after three incredible years, with an amazing team of over 55 developers." They also reached out to the gaming community, asking if any studios are hiring and could offer employment opportunities to their talented team members.
Midnight Society was established by Beahm alongside industry veterans Robert Bowling and Quinn Delhyo, known for their work on games like Call of Duty and Halo. Their debut project, Deadrop, was designed to be a free-to-play FPS that would leverage the team's extensive experience in the genre. Originally slated for a 2024 release, the game unfortunately missed its target date.
