Square Enix close Studio Istolia, cancel Project Prelude Rune

Square Enix have shut down Studio Istolia and cancelled the new-ish team’s only known game, a JRPG named Project Prelude Rune. This has been a short and unspectacular life for the studio. Squeenix announced Istolia’s opening in February 2017, with former ‘Tales Of…’ producer Hideo Baba in charge, then showed only wee snippets of Prelude Rune since. They say they’re working to get Istolians jobs on other Squeenix games, so that’s good at least.
