10:10 Games Lays Off Staff After Funko Fusion's Poor Performance
The UK-based studio cites the commercial and critical failure of its debut game as the primary reason for the job cuts.
- 10:10 Games has reportedly laid off 19 employees following the disappointing reception of its first game, Funko Fusion.
- The layoffs were attributed to the game's failure to achieve commercial success or critical acclaim, with an OpenCritic score of 53 and mixed Steam reviews.
- Sources claim the studio has struggled to secure funding for future projects, leading to insufficient work for the full team.
- Some employees were informed of their layoffs while on vacation, and severance packages reportedly met only the legal minimum requirements.
- 10:10 Games, founded in 2021 by veterans of Traveller's Tales, has not yet issued an official statement on the layoffs.
