Midnight Society, Game Studio Co-Founded by Dr Disrespect, Closes Shop, Cancels Game
Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by streamer Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, has announced its closure and the cancellation of its upcoming FPS game, Deadrop.
In an X post, the studio stated, "Today we are announcing Midnight Society will be closing its doors after three incredible years, with an amazing team of over 55 developers." The announcement included a plea for employment opportunities for its team members.
Founded by Beahm, along with Call of Duty and Halo veterans Robert Bowling and Quinn DelHoyo, Midnight Society aimed to deliver Deadrop, a free-to-play FPS leveraging the team's extensive experience. While targeting a 2024 release, the game ultimately missed its mark.

Midnight Society parted ways with Beahm in 2024 following the streamer's admission of exchanging inappropriate messages with a minor via Twitch Whispers. Despite this, development on Deadrop continued until its recent cancellation.
Set in a fictional "80s never ended" universe, Deadrop featured characters sporting Daft Punk-esque helmets and wielding both guns and swords. Gameplay was envisioned as a PvPvE extraction shooter.
Midnight Society's closure adds to the growing list of studios facing challenges in the current difficult climate for the games industry, impacting companies such as Ubisoft, BioWare, Phoenix Labs, and many others.
