Overview

  • Sebastian Wojciechowski said stalled negotiations with Square Enix prevented a content-rider agreement on Project Gemini, leading to its suspension.
  • A cash-flow analysis revealed insufficient resources to continue Project Bifrost, prompting its cancellation alongside Gemini.
  • The studio will significantly downsize its teams across multiple locations as part of a broader restructuring effort.
  • These latest cuts follow the April 2024 cancellation of Project Dagger and layoffs affecting over 150 employees since early 2024.
  • People Can Fly remains active on other fronts with Gears of War: E-Day for Microsoft and an unannounced Sony IP title still in development.
