Two more well-known studios lay off workers. The gaming industry crisis continues
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The wave of layoffs hitting the gaming industry continues as two more studios are forced to downsize their staff.
The first is VR game developer Archiact, known for Doom 3 VR Edition, Journey to the Foundation, and Freediver: Triton Down. The studio noted that it parted ways with several employees this week. Archiact also urged developers in need of staff to get in touch.
The second affected developer is Bossa Studios, known for Surgeon Simulator, I am Bread, and I am Fish, which is currently working on Lost Skies. The studio reported that “about a third” of its employees were laid off late last year, leaving the company with 40 developers.
Co-founder Henrique Olifiers explained that the layoffs were caused by an influx of AAA games that diverted attention away from AA and indies, rising operating costs, and funding delays.
The studio refocused its efforts on Lost Skies and restructured development, which led to the layoffs.
