Razvijalec Ruiner Reikon Games odpušča polovico svojega studia

Reikon Games has reportedly laid off 60 to 70 people, equating to 56 percent of the company.

Glede na Kotaku, layoffs at the Ruiner developer happened on 23rd January. These layoffs were to the surprise of its staff, who said they were “sudden” and “shocking”.

The Poland-based company was established in 2014. It went on to release Ruiner, a brutal action shooter, in 2017. In Eurogamer’s Ruiner review, contributor Edwin Evans-Thirlwell called it a “powerfully grim, fleet-footed cyberpunk action odyssey that is caught in the spell of its own nihilism”.

The studio has since shared a tease for its next game with a piece of sci-fi inspired artwork. “Piece by piece, implant by implant, everything is being prepared,” Reikon deli in September last year. “Our new game is coming. Are you ready to know more?”

The studio was hiring for available positions at the company as recently as avgust.

This year has seen multiple other companies announce layoffs, including League of Legends developer Nemirov igre, Igre iz črnega gozda, Unity, Vedenje interaktivno in Lords of the Fallen založnik CI Games.
