<p>As you might recall, Lab Zero Games – the studio behind <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/indivisible">Indivisible</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/skullgirls_2nd_encore">Skullgirls</a></strong> – <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/indivisible_and_skullgirls_studio_lab_zero_lays_off_remaining_workforce">laid off its remaining workforce</a> last month.</p>
<p>So, what does it means for the future of Indivisible? A statement from its publisher 505 Games reveals there will be no more production on the game. Guest characters and Backer characters will also no longer be added to the game.</p>
<p>On the Switch front, there’ll be one more update to put this version in line with other platforms:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>There is an update for Nintendo Switch that is already in submission. It will add Razmi’s Challenges, New Game+ and Couch Co-Op to the Nintendo Switch. That update will bring all platforms to the same level of development and offer a complete game experience to all current and future players. This is expected to release later this month starting on October 13 and rolling out to other regions afterwards.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>505 is also expecting a “small batch” of North American physical Switch cartridges to be made available at select retailers in November and will share more information about this soon.</p>
