Fortis Games shuts down, eliminating 440 jobs

Fortis Games, a mobile game studio behind titles like Twilight Towers and Bloom & Breakfast, has shut down, eliminating approximately 440 jobs. CEO Steven Chiang confirmed the closure on November 10, 2026, expressing disappointment over unmet goals. The parent company, Las Vegas Sands Corp., ceased funding and terminated all contracts globally, according to former employees. Chiang praised his team's talent and said helping them find new opportunities is now the top priority. Some staff cited the community-focused approach as failing to gain traction. Founded in 2022 by a former Electronic Arts and Zynga executive, Fortis was backed by Las Vegas Sands to diversify beyond gambling. The closure follows the November 4 cancellation of Twilight Towers and comes shortly after EA shut down BioWare, sparking player backlash over the fate of its franchises.
