Nifty Games CEO Jon Middleton announces on his LinkedIn and announced that the studio is shutting down its operations after a long run of 5 years. Alongside this, he also confirmed that it will be discontinuing two of its most popular games, NFL Clash and NBA Clash. Nifty Games Studio, known for its innovative and engaging sports-themed mobile games, had earned a dedicated fanbase with NFL Clash and NBA Clash. These games brought the excitement of American football and basketball to millions of players worldwide.
However, as an independent developer and publisher, the results fell short of what the studio needed in terms of the commercial success of the games. Middleton mentioned how proud he was of the studio’s achievements in creating two top-notch free-to-play games with two of the most renowned sports brand. He cited how there’s been a significant change in the mobile gaming industry forcing them to downsize over the last year, abandon their games, and now shut down their studios.
The decision to cease operations and discontinue these beloved titles has come as a surprise to both players and industry insiders considering their recent success in securing a $38 million investment in a series B funding round in 2021. The closure of Nifty Games Studio will undoubtedly leave a void in the gaming industry, with fans expressing their disappointment and nostalgia for the exciting moments they shared in NFL Clash and NBA Clash.
Nifty Studios thanks the players and their team for their continuous support
Nifty Games Studio expressed its heartfelt gratitude to its loyal player community, recognizing their consistent encouragement, support, and passion throughout the years. The studio also expressed its gratitude to its committed development team, whose talent and dedication helped NFL Clash and NBA Clash achieve their fame and success.
Jon Middleton also stated that even though NBA Clash and NFL Clash will not be available for downloads anymore, players who already have NBA Clash installed on their iOS can still play the game even after the server shuts down.
The attention now shifts to the future of the gaming industry and the potential development of new studios to fill the void left by this unexpected departure as Nifty Games Studio prepares to shut down its operations.
