Samson Developer And Publisher Liquid Swords Goes Bankrupt, 6 Months After Release
Liquid Swords, the Swedish developer and publisher behind the recently released GTA-like Samson, has filed for bankruptcy following an order issued by the Stockholm District Court. Liquid Swords was founded by former Avalanche Studios co-founder Christofer Sundberg, who oversaw the development of all four Just Cause games during his time at the studio. Following Liquid Swords’ founding in 2020, the studio’s first and only title, Samson, was released to Steam on April 8, 2026. Samson was released to less-than-stellar reviews and is currently sitting at a score of 51 percent on Metacritic. Critics and players primarily took issue with Samson’s litany of bugs and performance-related issues at launch, which resulted in an impassioned apology letter from Sundberg on Steam. Sundberg described the game’s state at launch as “unacceptable,” and vowed to address its “game-breaking bugs and performance issues” in future patches. To Liquid Swords’ credit, Samson has received several updates since release. As reported by Swedish news site Breakit (via Gametalk), the Stockholm District Court issued the bankruptcy order against Liquid Swords on October 12.
