Fortis Games Shuts Down, Cutting 440 Jobs in San Francisco

Fortis Games, the mobile studio behind Twilight Towers and Bloom & Breakfast, has shut down, impacting approximately 440 jobs. The closure was confirmed by CEO Steven Chiang on November 10, 2026. Chiang expressed disappointment in a statement, noting the company failed to achieve its five-year goals. Former employees reported that parent company Las Vegas Sands Corp. ended funding and terminated all contracts worldwide, with some citing the studio's community-focused approach as a factor in its struggles. Founded in 2022 by former EA and Zynga executive Chiang, the San Francisco-based studio was funded by Las Vegas Sands to expand beyond gambling. The closure follows the sunsetting of Twilight Towers on November 4 and comes amid broader industry shutdowns, including EA's recent closure of BioWare.
