The creators of the Aragami series, Lince Works, announced its impending closure on Twitter in April.
The “unfavorable economic context” and “time constraints” were cited as the reasons for the closure. The Lince Works website states that the company has 16 full-time developers.

Lince Works raised $3.4 million in investment in May 2020 with the help of Game Seer (via VentureBeat). They declared that 500,000 copies of the original Aragami had been sold. In the action-adventure stealth video game series Aragami, players assume the role of Aragami, a supernaturally gifted assassin. The player encounters an army called “Kaiho” and can teleport between shadows.
For Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, Lince Works announced Aragami 2 in 2020. It was released on September 17, 2021.
