The Star Wars Zero Company studio is finally laying off staff
, by Enzo
It’s been a particularly difficult half-year for Bit Reactor, the studio behind Star Wars Zero Company. In August, we learned that most of the studio’s staff had been placed on furlough. In early October, a significant number of employees had finally returned to work at the studio.
Today, we’ve received some bad news. The studio has ultimately laid off a portion of its staff in an effort to achieve financial stability. Some have spoken out about this on social media.
"I was laid off from Bit Reactor this week after a three-month leave of absence, and even though it hurts, I’m really proud of what we built together."
Star Wars Zero Company was, however, well-received, earning a Metacritic score of 84 from the gaming press, as well as selling 1 million copies in a month and a half. For now, no one really knows how the situation will unfold.
