Polish developer People Can Fly, the studio best-known for Outriders and Gears of Battle Judgment, is suspending or scaling again extra tasks amid what CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski is looking “exterior market pressures.”
In a statement released on X/Twitter, Wojciechowski introduced that People Can Fly is suspending Mission Victoria, cutting down Mission Bifrost, and restructuring inner groups. The choice follows the April cancellation of Mission Dagger, an action-adventure recreation initially set to co-developed and revealed with Take-Two Interactive earlier than it pulled out in September 2022.
As a part of the cutbacks, People Can Fly says it is both suspending or shedding 120 employees, including to 2024’s already grim video games business layoff toll.
“This motion grew to become vital as exterior market pressures endured past our forecasts. The online game market remains to be evolving, and now we have to regulate with the place issues are in the present day. We’re redoubling our efforts with new work for rent engagements and specializing in the event of a single impartial recreation,” Wojciechowski wrote.
People Can Fly’s announcement additional whittles down its checklist of seven tasks revealed again in July 2023. One other, codenamed Mission Gemini, is in growth with longtime companion Sq. Enix, however its standing is unclear. Mission Crimson, in the meantime, is within the “idea stage.”
People Can Fly’s most up-to-date undertaking is Bullestorm VR, an up to date model of the traditional shooter for Meta Quest and PSVR 2 developed at the side of Incuvo. Mission Gemini is predicted to launch someday in 2026.
