Ascendant Studios Furloughs Majority of Staff Amid Financial Struggles

The game developer, facing poor sales and previous layoffs, has placed most employees on unpaid leave.

Ascendant Studios has furloughed the majority of its staff, with estimates suggesting around 30 people affected.
The furloughs follow a series of layoffs where 45% of the staff were let go seven months ago due to low sales of Immortals of Aveum.
Ascendant has not issued an official statement, and details on the exact number of staff affected remain unclear.
The studio's financial troubles began after the poorly received launch of Immortals of Aveum, which saw significant competition and technical issues.
Despite attempts to boost sales, the game's performance has not met expectations, impacting the studio's operational capacity.
