The studio, founded by industry veterans John and Brenda Romero, recently lost its publishing agreement with Microsoft for an unannounced first-person shooter project, leading to speculation about its future. However, in a statement, Romero Games clarified that it is actively exploring new opportunities with several interested publishers, aiming to bring their game to fruition.
