Dr. Disrespect's Midnight Society Shuts Down, Cancels Deadrop
Gaming studio Midnight Society, co-founded by streamer Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, has announced its closure and the cancellation of its upcoming FPS game, Deadrop.
The studio revealed the news via an X post, stating, "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 also included a plea for employment opportunities for its team members.
Midnight Society was established by Beahm alongside industry veterans Robert Bowling (Call of Duty) and Quinn Delhoy (Halo). Their debut title, Deadrop, was envisioned as a free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter set in an alternate 1980s-themed universe. While initially targeting a 2024 release, the game ultimately failed to launch.

Following Dr. Disrespect's departure from the studio in 2024 due to allegations of inappropriate messaging with a minor via Twitch Whispers, development on Deadrop continued until the recent shutdown. Concept art showcased characters sporting Daft Punk-inspired helmets and wielding a mix of firearms and melee weapons.
Midnight Society's closure adds to the growing list of game studios facing challenges in the current industry climate, joining companies like Ubisoft, BioWare, and Phoenix Labs that have experienced layoffs or closures.
