FuRyu mentioned in its latest shareholder report that it would be temporarily suspending its games business. That had fans concerned that the company would no longer be making titles like The Alliance Alive and Work x Work – at least for the near future.
Thankfully, it looks like the situation is better than expected. FuRyu issued a press release today clarifying things, and has confirmed that only smartphone games will be suspended. Console titles will still be developed.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is UK’s fastest selling Switch game released this year
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy reached new formats last week. Interestingly, it’s the fastest selling Switch game released this year. The £30 price tag may play a factor in that.
The Xbox One and Switch versions of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy came in at first and second on the UK charts this week. However, the Switch edition only sold 250 fewer copies.
We have a couple of other tidbits regarding the latest UK sales as well. Mario Tennis Aces’ sales dipped by 53%, though GamesIndustry says that’s “decent performance for a game in its second week on shelves.” Harvest Moon: A Light of Hope, which debuted in the UK just a few days ago, had 78% of its sales on Switch in comparison to 22% on the PlayStation 4.
Thanks to Arison for the tip.
