“Over the past year, both companies have worked together to navigate the studio’s difficulties to ensure Artificer remains open and that their hard work is realised with the launch of their next game. Layoffs are not easy, and the remaining team at Artificer and Devolver Digital are committed to supporting these talented and creative professionals find new roles throughout the industry.”
Kotaku’s understanding is that’s about half the studio going.
According toone tracker, the games industry suffered at least an estimated 5900 layoffs in January 2024. Many are at studies bought up and merged into others as part ofthe consolidation of the games industry. The same tracker estimated 10,500 industry layoffs in all of 2023. This year has barely begun. Best of luck to everyone out there.
