Starbreeze Studios, a troubled Swedish developer, announced today that it has reached an agreement with issuer Plaion to repurchase the issuance rights of the cooperative raid shooting game "Harvest Day 3" in the form of targeted share issuance shares.This move aims to accelerate the development of game content and expand business opportunities for the entire series.

Under the agreement, Starbreeze will issue new shares (total value of approximately 33 million SEK, approximately RMB 24.84 million), of which 29 million SEK will be used to repay previous debt disputes with Plaion.Thomas Lindgren, a member of the company's board of directors, said: "This move will significantly accelerate the content development roadmap of Harvest Day 3 and create new opportunities for the overall strategic layout of the series.”

"Harvest Day 3" has continued to suffer a Waterloo since its release in September 2023.During the first release, due to controversy over the forced online mode, frequent server matching failures (players often have to wait for dozens of minutes and frequently drop out), and the multiple retweets of the first large patch, the peak Steam players dropped sharply from nearly 80,000 in the first month to less than 1,000 people at present. During the same period, the previous work "Harvest Day 2" still maintained 25,000 players active.In 2024, former CEO Tobias Schegren was fired by the board of directors for poor performance, and the development team was reorganized in December of the same year.

Despite the current grim situation, Starbreeze still hinted at the possibility of a sequel: "Although this agreement ends the current issuance cooperation, it also lays the foundation for the future long-term cooperation between the two parties in the "Harvest Day" series of projects."In addition to maintaining "Harvest Day 3", the team is simultaneously developing a game based on the "Dungeons and Dragons" IP.
