Midgar Studio closed in July 2026 due to legal liquidation, but its final game, Edge of Memories, is still planned for release within 2026, with creative work complete and a specialized team handling technical finishing.
Midgar Studio, the French developer behind the JRPG Edge of Eternity, closed in July 2026.
