Iron Galaxy Studios fires 66 employees
, by Thibaut
Although not a household name, Iron Galaxy Studios has been involved in the development of plenty of games.
The company produced seasons 2 and 3 of Killer Instinct and Rumbleverse. It has also worked in the PC ports of The Last of Us Part I, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, as well as the Switch versions of Overwatch, Diablo III and Skyrim.
Alas, the studio is back with some bad news. On LinkedIn, Iron Galaxy Studios has announced that it is laying off 66 of its 270 employees, i.e. almost 25% of its workforce. Iron Galaxy explains that it has made sacrifices to keep all its teams... Alas, it wasn't enough.
"All the while at Iron Galaxy, we’ve been making sacrifices to keep our teams intact. It has been our hope that we could emerge from this long winter alongside all the teammates who have come to work with us over the years. Today, we’re making the unfortunate announcement that we have run out of room to maneuver amidst this slow recovery."
"Today, Iron Galaxy is parting ways with some of our developers and support staff. In total, we have reduced our employee base by 66 people. This was a means of last resort for us. It’s a measure we do not take lightly to enable our long-term survival."
The studio also states that it keeps being "committed to serving our partners in the creation of games."
