The layoffs come three months after the studio cut ties with co-founder Dr. Disrespect over allegations of inappropriate conduct.

Midnight Society confirmed significant layoffs, affecting roughly 50% of its development team.
The studio cited multiple unexpected challenges as the reason for the workforce reduction.
