Recall that at the beginning of the week, several already ex-employees of Hardsuit Labs reported about the loss of their jobs. The narrative department suffered the most – it was completely cut.

Hardsuit Labs did not name the number of employees affected by the measure but admitted that it “could not provide a job for a small group of people” with whom it had to leave.

“This decision was not easy and was made only after we felt that we had exhausted all possible ways to avoid layoffs,” – told reporters Hardsuit Labs.

Employees who have lost their main source of income will not be left without their former bosses’ help: Hardsuit Labs plans to give ex-employees “new opportunities” in friendly studios and partner companies.

Despite the cuts, life does not stand still: “Hardsuit Labs continues to move forward” and is currently engaged in “several unannounced projects.”

The layoffs were the result of Hardsuit Labs being removed from the ambitious vampire action movie Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. Due to a change in developers, the game will be delayed and will not be released this year.
