The global economic context, the challenges of our industry and the global restructuring announced by Embracer ended up affecting our studio. The difficult decision was made to lay off 97 people from the development teams, administration and support services.

We are working to support all affected staff during this transition. These very talented and highly experienced people are entering the job market and we want them to find their next projects and we are helping them do so.

As we navigate these difficult times, the well-being of our team is our priority and our continued commitment to creating games that players can enjoy for the foreseeable future.

For our players… it’s often not just the games, but also the game creators that we all celebrate and admire. Our commitment is always to create the best games for our amazing fans, and even with this restructuring change, we continue to strive to provide those amazing experiences to share together. Thank you for your continued support and well wishes.
