Original (9/1): PQube has already been under fire after A Space for the Unbound publisher Toge Productions and developer Mojiken accused the company of “predatory practices”. Corecell Technology, the studio behind the AeternoBlade series, has now joined the fray as well.

Although the two sides terminated a publishing agreement, “PQube has refused to return the publishing control on the console platforms back to us and continues to sell and take all revenues from AeternoBlade II.” Nintendo has taken the game off of the Switch eShop in Europe, though Corecell hasn’t received any revenue from that region.
The full statement from Corecell reads as follows:
