아웃라이더스 개발사 피플 캔 플라이(People Can Fly), 직원 30명 이상 해고

People Can Fly, the developer behind the likes of Outriders and Bulletstorm, has reportedly laid off “over 30 people” working on a currently unannounced game – codenamed Project Gemini – that’s set to be published by Square Enix.

As Kotaku에 의해 보고됨, People Can Fly 개발 이사인 Adam Alker는 프로젝트에 참여하는 모든 직원에게 보낸 이메일을 통해 예산 제한과 범위 축소로 인해 삭감이 이루어졌다고 설명하면서 정리해고를 발표했습니다. 추가로 20명도 프로젝트 제미니를 떠날 예정이지만 회사 내 다른 직위로 이동될 예정이다.

“We understand that this decision impacts each of you,” Alker wrote in the email, “and we want to express our gratitude for your hard work, dedication, and contributions thus far.”

Addressing “those individuals transitioning out of the studio due to these changes”, Alker added, “We extend our sincere appreciation for the skills and expertise you brought to the team [and] will keep our fingers crossed for your next steps in game dev and offer all our support.”

Project Gemini was revealed to be in the works at People Can Fly (alongside four “AAA” titles and two VR games) last January, with a planned release of 2026. However, an 프로젝트 제미니 업데이트 shared in November noted the studio was entering into “strategic discussions” with Square Enix and that it was “highly probable” development “will not be continued… on the current commercial terms”. That news followed September’s announcement Take-Two Interactive had 파트너십에서 탈퇴했습니다 to publish People Can Fly’s Project Dagger after two years of development, but that work would continue.

스튜디오에서도 작업 중입니다. Microsoft가 자금을 지원하는 Project Maverick, based on one of the latter’s IP. Little is known about the title beyond its $30m-50m budget, but rumours persist Microsoft is gearing up for a major Gears of War revival.

People Can Fly is yet to confirm today’s report of layoffs at the studio but they would mark the latest in an already devastating month for the games industry. As per Kotaku’s tally, over 3,900 job cuts have already been announced in 2024 among the likes of 폭동 게임, 통일, 로스트 보이즈 인터랙티브, 천둥 같은, 씰룩 씰룩 움직이다및 행동 대화 형. That’s compared what’s 약 9,500명의 업계 해고가 발생한 것으로 추정됩니다. 2023 인치
