Today, TiMi Montreal is officially closing its doors. While we had been aware this was coming for some time, it doesnt make the reality any easier. I am genuinely heartbroken that the public will never get to experience what this team was capable of producing. TiMi Montreal was made up of really talented people and working with them was a privilege, the level of skill and dedication on this team was something special. I wish the best to every single person on this team, any studio would be lucky to have them and I have no doubt they will go on to do incredible things. As difficult as today is, I am still looking ahead with optimism and excitement for what’s next.

A TiMi Montreal programmer shared on LinkedIn: “I am genuinely heartbroken that the public will never get to experience what this team was capable of producing.”
The closure aligns with broader industry contraction and Chinese firms retreating from Western AAA development. No details about the studio’s unreleased projects have been disclosed.
