The Last Chapter for Mimimi Games
As we bid adieu to beloved studio Mimimi Games, we cannot help but look back at their incredible journey. Known for creating masterpieces like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and Desperados 3, their final offering, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, has truly set a high benchmark in the genre of isometric stealth games. Released in 2023, it was hailed by PC Gamer as the ‘Best Stealth of 2023’, acknowledging the clever mechanics and immersive storytelling that made it an instant classic.
A Shift to Hooded Horse
With Mimimi closing their doors, the reins are now handed over to Hooded Horse, an emerging strategy publisher. This transition raises hope that Shadow Gambit will continue to thrive under new stewardship. As Hooded Horse prepares to navigate the future of this fantasy Caribbean pirate adventure, we wonder how they will carry the legacy of the talented developers who worked diligently on this game.
The Adventure Continues
The 2023 release enriched players’ experience with two fantastic expansion packs, Zagan’s Ritual and Yuki’s Wish, allowing fans to dive deeper into the narrative and gameplay. It’s heartening to see that even after Mimimi’s chapter closes, the ship sails on, seeking further treasure and tales. Just like the ghost ship that sails in the game, the legacy of Shadow Gambit will continue to haunt the gaming horizon with its depth and creativity.
