The Wildgate devs have been hit by layoffs
, by Thibaut
The studio Dreamhaven ends the week with some pretty difficult news. The team behind Wildgate has laid off staff.
Despite a boost in player numbers following the release of its PvP shooter on the Epic Games Store, the company has had to take the difficult decision to reduce its workforce. This was done in order to continue updating the game and ensure the survival of the company.
"Despite the increase in player numbers and overall positive reception, it wasn’t enough to sustain the size of our development team. So we made the difficult decision to reduce team roles to ensure we can continue delivering updates to the game while working in a way that supports the studio in the long term. We remain focused on Wildgate's next content update, which introduces more quality of life improvements, including the highly-requested progression system, which we anticipate coming later this quarter."
We do not know how many people have been laid off.
