People Can Fly (Outriders) announces 120 additional layoffs
, by Thibaut
Here's a dark day for People Can Fly, the Polish studio behind Bulletstorm, Gears of War: Judgment and Outriders.
This week, CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski announced the company undergoing a restructuring plan. The studio's self-publishing strategy has been dialed back and development of an unannounced game called "Project Victoria" has been suspended. The team in charge of "Project Bifrost" will also become smaller, and other teams dedicated to support other projects will suffer that same fate.
With this, over 120 people have been made redundant. To try and explain this decision, Wojciechowski has referred to the tensions currently going through the gaming industry.
People Can Fly already laid off around 30 employees earlier this year.
