Dauntless & Fae Farm Dev Phoenix Labs Announced Major Layoffs

Dauntless and Fae Farm developer Phoenix Labs announced a round of layoffs tn "the majority of the studio."

The company shared the news in an official statement: "Today is another difficult day at Phoenix Labs. We have made the tough decision to part ways with the majority of the studio as part of unfortunate but necessary changes to our operations." The studio thanked its employees for their contribution to its projects: "We recognize and deeply appreciate the contribution of every individual impacted. Their talent, dedication, and creativity have left an indelible mark on our company and our games."

Phoenix Labs said it will share updates on how the changes will affect its titles Dauntless and Fae Farm in the coming weeks. "For now, our focus is on supporting those affected through this transition."

"To our industry peers, we encourage you to reach out to these exceptional individuals – they are some of the best in the business," the statement concludes.

Unfortunately, layoffs are not rare in the video game industry, with plenty of other companies letting go of their workers, such as Starbreeze and Rocksteady, which recently reportedly laid off parts of their teams. Also, there was news that Don't Nod employees voted for a strike following a restructuring and layoffs.
