Today is a sad day for JRPG lovers, as the historical Japanese developer Neverland posted a notice on its official website announcing the immediate closure of the business.

The notice explains that the financial situation recently deteriorated beyond the braking point and the company is preparing to file for bankruptcy.

Neverland was responsible for the development of several classic JRPGs since the era of the Super Famicom, like the Lufia and Rune Factory series, Chaos Seed, Record of Lodoss War (the Dreamcast game that played basically like Diablo) and Shining Force Neo and EXA.

Our best wishes go to the developers affected by this sad event, hoping that the company may find a worthy buyer.
