Flaming Fowl Studios – the developer that announced then shelved a game on the same day back in April amid financial difficulties – has unveiled its latest project, a comedic sci-fi auto battler called Konfronto that’s due to release on PC later this year.
Flaming Fowl, which was founded in 2016 by former members of original Fable developer Lionhead Studios, first made a name for itself with the release of card battle Fable Fortune, but it’s perhaps known for its acclaimed digital adaptation of popular board game Gloomhaven.
The studio’s third release, a co-op RPG with turn-based combat called Ironmarked, was revealed back in April, but it wasn’t exactly a moment for celebration. Instead, Flaming Fowl’s unusual announcement came with the news the project was being shelved due to a current lack of funding in the industry, and worse, that it had been forced to lay off around 20 people at the studio. The hope was Ironmarked’s announcement and accompanying demo would be a way to demonstrate the team’s work and help them find jobs elsewhere.
