Current plans for the team are as yet unannounced, so we don't know if the former Cavia will continue making games for third parties. Officially, however, its last game was Nier, which is kind of an unfortunate note on which to leave.

Well, Justin, how does it feel to have single-handedly sunk an entire developer? You make me sick.

though they had some flaws, i thought the Resident Evil: chronicles games were great. What does this spell for any future games in the series?

Agreed - but there are three possibilities here:
1) Capcom presumably own the whole thing (engine and all) so they can get somebody else to do the third.
2) Capcom might have to make an *actual* Resident Evil game for Wii.
or, sadly, probably more realistically
3) The last one didn't sell that well so they'll just call it a day.

Well, there goes my hope for a Nier 2 and Drakengard 3. Then again, Nier's endings kinda made that impossible.
Sad that this happened, though. Their games weren't very well received by the media, but I they were some of my favorite games from this gen and last gen.

Oh, no. Not Cavia. Just think of all the amazing games we will miss without Cavia in this world. Oh, how I will miss their amazing works of endless, mind-numbing button mashing and forgettable visual design that exploited every possible use of the colors gray and brown.
