PCF Group S.A. officially suspended all development work on Project Gemini effective June 1, 2025.
The suspension follows the expiration of the content rider with Square Enix Limited and the absence of a subsequent agreement for future production milestones.
PCF Group halted operations due to a lack of communication from Square Enix regarding the project's status and intent to finalize the game.
The management board of PCF Group currently considers the prospect of continuing collaboration with Square Enix on Project Gemini to be highly doubtful.
The development halt specifically impacts PCF Group’s European operations and the contractual relationship established under the original production and publishing agreement.
This situation highlights the strategic risks inherent in work-for-hire models when publisher alignment and contractual renewals are not secured in a timely manner.
