Polyarc, the studio known for the Moss series, has shut down after nearly 12 years in the games industry. The company confirmed the end of active development and said its team members will go their separate ways.

The farewell comes shortly after the release of Moss: The Forgotten Relic, a fantasy adventure that brings together elements of the experiences seen in Moss and Moss: Book II. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

In its closing message, Polyarc described the moment as the end of an era and thanked the people who had been part of the studio’s journey. The team also said it had been a privilege to create games capable of bringing surprises and joy to players.

The company also said Polyarc had been home to exceptional developers across different disciplines. As part of its farewell, the studio shared a link aimed at companies looking for talent, without saying which team members had already found new projects.

Polyarc’s identity became closely tied to virtual reality adventures. The Moss franchise follows Quill, a small mouse who explores fantastical worlds alongside the player. The first game and Moss: Book II helped establish the studio’s name in that space, combining fantasy, exploration and a close bond between character and player.

With Moss: The Forgotten Relic, the series expanded its reach to consoles and PC, bringing the franchise’s concept to more platforms. The shutdown marks the end of a developer associated with VR adventure experiences and a distinctive art direction.

The message did not announce any new projects or indicate plans for the future of Moss. For now, Moss: The Forgotten Relic remains the last work Polyarc presented to the public.
