Kotaku is reporting that Polish studio Artificer laid off roughly half of its team today, or around 25 people.
The studio’s last game was the turn-based tactics title Showgunners, which launched on Steam in May and holds a “Very Positive” review average.
Kotaku reports that further cuts are expected, with another 10-12 of the remaining developers sticking around “for a few months” to finish up work on Artificer’s next game, at which point they too will be laid off.
Artificer owner Devolver Digital did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Devolver took ownership of Artificer in January of 2021 when it acquired the studio’s parent company Good Shepherd Entertainment.
Good Shepherd originally purchased a majority stake in Artificer in 2019.
