Phoenix Labs, developer Dauntless and Fae Farm, released “most studies”, according to announcements published earlier Reddit AND LinkedInAs part of what the studio called “unfortunate but necessary changes in our operations.”
“We recognize and deeply appreciate the contribution of each person he had influenced,” said Phoenix Labs. “Their talent, dedication and creativity have left an indelible mark in our company and our games. In the coming weeks we will share more details about what it means for Dauntless and Fae Farm. This transition. “
Today’s layoffs are the second substantial decrease in Phoenix Labs in less than a year, after restructuring in May 2024, during which the studio dismissed “many” employees and canceled games development projects as a last resort to make sure that Phoenix Labs Can can survive and develop in the long term. “
This confusion lasted until December 2024, when Dauntless fired on Steam along with the controversial renovation update, which withdrew the player’s progress and implemented a restrictive monetization scheme, which saw how freely reminiscent of a monster hunter to almost party “he overwhelmed negatively negatively negatively negative” assessment reviews.
The exemptions from May 2024 and Dauntless modifications took place after the purchase of Phoenix Labs by Forte Forte, during which – according to reporting with Game creator– Phoenix Labs employees were directed to not publish a takeover.
The advertisement does not specify how many employees have been excluded without work, but employees affected by today’s dismissals make it sound like a studio closing in everything except the name. Joshua Hood, former main designer Phoenix Labs, said Post LinkedIn Earlier today “the decision was made to close Phoenix Labs.”
