IllFonic, the studio behind multiplayer titles like Predator: Hunting Grounds and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has announced layoffs in a short statement posted to the studio’s Twitter account.
The studio isn’t clear on how many developers are impacted by the layoff, and is instead points to the layoff as the studio accepting “the harsh reality that the state of the industry has impacted us here at IllFonic.”
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that cuts to our teams had to be made today as we re-aligned to a refined strategy,” the statement continued. “There is a lot of talent in this group and if you or your team is hiring, please reach out so people can be connected to open roles. Thank you.”
This is the latest layoff since just yesterday, when Ubisoft announced that it would be shutting down its F2P shooter XDefiant and closing its studios in San Francisco, Osaka, while downsizing the team in Sydney.
As it is every time, it is unfortunate to see more layoffs impact talented and hardworking developers. Hopefully those impacted by IllFonic today can land on their feet.
