We are heartbroken that we will not be able to complete our new sci-fi universe. At this time, however, our main concern is for our team, and we are committed to supporting them in the transition to new employment.
In our time together, the team has made incredible progress and demonstrated that it is possible to do extraordinary work while fostering a culture of fun and creativity,” the statement continues. We thank them for their talent, their courage and their friendship.
Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout our journey.”
