Fortis Games appears to have been closed, according to a flurry of LinkedIn posts from this afternoon.
One post from the firm’s now-former communications director says that Fortis “has officially shuttered, abruptly putting more than 400 talented people out of work.”
Another staffer in production said: “Today Fortis Games has been abruptly shut down. Las Vegas Sands Corp. has chosen to end funding and part ways, terminating all of the contracts, worldwide.”
There are dozens of similar messages from other departing Fortis Games staffers across LinkedIn today. We have contacted the company for comment and confirmation but at the time of publication it had yet to respond.
Fortis was created and fully owned by gambling giant Las Vegas Sands. It was cofounded by Steven Chiang, Shawn Foust and Calvin Lau, who between them brought experience from senior roles at EA, Zynga, Machine Zone, Twitch and more.
The studio was officially launched in 2022 and its announcement stated that the company had 150 staff through the acquisition of three studios: Portugal’s Doppio Games, Brazil’s Oktagon Games and Romania’s Metagame.
The mobile game developer lists three titles on its website, Mergemon Wilds, Twilight Towers and Bloom & Breakfast.
Of those three titles, Twilight Towers reached soft launch in September 2025 but Fortis announced the game would be closing this month in a blog posted last week.
AppMagic data suggests Bloom & Breakfast made it out into early testing and generated a small number of downloads, but Mergemon Wilds never registered any installs.
Fortis’ account also includes a title called Havoc Crew, which also never made soft launch.
