This is something I found on CU subreddit, but all information seem to check out, so it's most likely not just a baseless assumption.
Andrew Meggs, who was CSE co-founder and a creator of Camelot Unchained's engine, removed all mentions of working at CSE from his social media. In fact, his new account on "Mastodon" social media mentions he works at "Meta" now (in addition to 2 other projects he used to work on, Skyrim and Vampires: Bloodlines):

In addition to that, the official account he used for posting at official CSE Discord - it is also gone now. You can find his old posts on official CSE Discord server, but when you click on his name - you can see that he is not a member of CSE's official Discord anymore:

Did he silently decide to quit CSE? And if yes - is this a finally the end for CSE and CU? Or will Mark try to hire a replacement (who will be totally unfamiliar with their custom engine) to keep wasting more money on it?

Could just be entire team migrating, but is a bit telling that when setting up these new social accounts he's leaving out any mention of CSE and there are hints he's doing VR work for Meta now.
I don't believe there's been a CU live stream or newsletter since September, and the rumored big announcement never came.
Perhaps the rumored new funding fell through.
