Mimimi Games, a German game team that has launched several stealth real-time tactical masterpieces in recent years, announced on its official website that “Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew” will be their last work.
Co-founders Dominik and Johannes jointly announced the future trends of Mimimi studio. Since the studio was established in 2008, they have focused on producing more and more ambitious works in the past 15 years, but they have also brought heavy burdens to their families. Therefore, he decided to end the development of the studio after the launch of “Shadow Trick: The Cursed Crew” to consider his own family.
According to the announcement, Mimimi Studio will gradually reduce its scale in the next few months, and will provide follow-up update support for “Shadow Trick”, and expect the industry to extend Mimimi’s suitable talents, and thank multiple publishers such as Kowloon Nights, THQ A collaboration between Nordic and Daedalic Entertainment, and a grant from a German government agency.
Dear community, team and industry: It is with a heavy heart that today we have to share the news that Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew will be Mimimi’s final game.

Established in 2008, Mimimi Studios made its name in 2016 with “Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun” (Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun), bringing a renaissance of stealth real-time strategy games, and then launched a sequel to the old IP in one fell swoop “Ace Veyron 3” (DESPERADOS III), “Shadow Strategy” DLC “Aiko’s Choice”, and this year’s latest “Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew” (Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew).
The imminent closure of Mimimi Studio also means that video games have lost a developer specializing in RTT works (Real-time tactics), making the originally niche game market even more likely to enter the torrent of history.
