Firaxis lays off employees
Laying off nearly 30 employees can be painful. According to information posted on Firaxis profile on LinkedIn, the company employed about 250 people, so saying goodbye to so many specialists could have a not insignificant impact on the studio's operations.
Although Midnight Suns has collected a lot of positive reviews, this did not translate into financial success. Poor sales were said to be due to setting a wrong release date for the game - at least that's what Strauss Zelnick, head of Take-Two, believes. The game featuring Marvel heroes debuted at the beginning of December last year, and just before the title appeared on the market Firaxis abandoned its release on Nintendo Switch.
Despite the reduction of the team, Firaxis is focused on the announced this February.
Layoffs also at other companies in the industry
