Earlier this year, Taiwanese horror game Devotion was pulled from Steam after players discovered a piece of in-game art making fun of Chinese president Xi Jinping. Earlier this month, it was revealed that the game’s publisher had had its business license revoked by Chinese authorities, in a move that journalist Khee Hoon Chan says was a direct response to Devotion. Now, after months of silence, the game’s developer Red Candle Games, has issued a statement. In a post on Twitter this morning, the team behind the game offered fans an update on the state of the game. Red Candle says that “for the past four months, the art asset incident related to Devotion has caused immeasurable harm to Red Candle Games and our partner,” and that “we would like to offer our most sincere apology to all impacted teams and personnel.” An attempt to patch up the situation is still ongoing, but Red Candle says that the studio’s co-founders “have reached a unanimous decision to not re-release Devotion in the near term.”
