MUDANG: Two Hearts, the Ambitious Splinter Cell–Like Stealth Game, Reportedly Canceled

Expert Verified By

The Studio Went Through A Massive Layoff Last Year!

Story Highlight
  • Mudang: Two Hearts was announced last year, an action-stealth game based on the Splinter Cell formula.
  • While the gameplay reveal suggested it was deep into development, the project may have been canceled.
  • The studio went through a massive layoff last year, wiping nearly 80% of its workforce, and now the website has also been deleted.

Mudang: Two Hearts was announced last year as a third-person action-stealth game that appears to be based on the Splinter Cell formula, as seen in the gameplay reveal. As ambitious as the game looked, unfortunately, we may never get to play it, as all signs point towards the project being axed.

EVR Studio, the Korean-based developer behind the game, has been going through a rough patch ever since the game’s announcement. Now, it seems that the studio has completely shut down, also potentially putting an end to Mudang: Two Hearts’ development.

Why it matters: Mudang: Two Hearts seemed like a terrific single-player game that seemingly took the Splinter Cell formula up a notch with its open-ended world design, captivating aesthetics, dual playable characters, and multiple approaches.

As of last year, EVR Studio went through a massive layoff (as per a tracking site from Korea) that reduced the employee count from 100+ all the way down to only 22. Furthermore, the studio website also stopped working a while ago, and it has now been completely removed.

Additionally, developers behind the game have also been inactive, whereas before they were publishing behind-the-scenes content on YouTube.

The Game’s Setting Takes Place In A Futuristic Korea And Follows A Politically Charged Story

From the gameplay reveal, Mudang: Two Hearts was well deep into development, and with just a year away from release at the point, it’s saddening to see the current situation.

The title has a release date of March 2026, which is quite close, and we hope to learn more about the project’s current status soon, if it lives on or has been canceled. Still, last year’s layoffs are a bad sign for the game.
