Indivisible Will Get No More Content Or Updates Following Lab Zero Controversy

Backer-created characters and other Indivisible content will not be added to the game.

6 Comments

Now that Lab Zero Games has essentially dissolved following controversy with game director Mike Zaimont, publisher 505 Games has confirmed that production has ended for Indivisible.

At present, there is an update in submission for the Nintendo Switch that will add more challenges, a New Game+ mode, and couch co-op, bringing Indivisible on Nintendo Switch to the same developmental level as the other platforms. After this, 505 Games has no plans to introduce more content or updates for the game. This patch starts rolling out on October 13.

"At this stage, apart from content that is already in submission, there will unfortunately be no more production on [Indivisible]," 505 Games said in a development update post. "We understand that longtime players have been waiting for guest characters as well as some backer-created characters. Regretfully, this additional content will not be added to the game."

505 Games explained why backer-created and guest characters won't be added to Indivisible in the update post, saying the "IP holder for at least one of the guest characters has backed out" of the partnership following the dissolution of Lab Zero. 505 expects more will follow suit.

Physical editions of Indivisible for Nintendo Switch are still expected to arrive this November in limited supply at select retailers, and 505 said it will provide updates closer to the release.

Furthermore, the physical IndieGoGo backer reward left to fulfill, the Ajna/Heruka statue, is still coming. 505 is taking over production and will share information about the reward soon.

Though Lab Zero Games may have dissolved, employees of the studio are still in game development. A team of former devs established a worker-owned studio called Future Club with the aim of creating memorable games using handcrafted 2D animation and responsive gameplay.

Okay, what did Mike Zaimont actually do? Honestly, apparently he did something really bad, yet none of these Ex Employees will even talk about it? They say it was merely "Harassment/Bullying" but frankly I don't buy that, because let's face it, a certain amount of harassment/bullying goes on in practically every workplace environment. No, it isn't okay, but it is what it is, and most folks have to put up with it on a regular basis, while getting paid minimum wage for a meaningless, entry-level job, ergo I find it difficult to believe that a bunch of otherwise talented game designers would up and leave just because the boss is a bully.

@Blk_Mage_Ctype: I couldn't find out based on Gamespot's reporting. They and much of the games media, and the real media come to think of it, will accuse someone of something and report that they did something but not WHAT they did.

Some other research found that he made a "can't breathe" comment that everyone became ultra offended over then several people started sharing private messages with him where he was awkwardly flirtatious.

@Radar: Well the update submission is completed content, they mean nothing further added to the game after that.

Physical copies of the game and statues are also not more game content in the game.

Weird how this keeps happening with almost every kickstarted or otherwise crowdfunded game, especially where they make a big deal over inclusivity and diversity 🤔
