Deck Nine Games, the developer behind titles like Life is Strange: True Colors and Telltale’s The Expanse, has announced the unfortunate decision to lay off 20% of its staff due to challenging market conditions in the games industry.
According to a statement released by Deck Nine, “Today we made the difficult decision to lay off 20% of our staff. These individuals have been valuable contributors to our team, and we deeply regret having to take this step.”
This is not the first time Deck Nine has had to make such tough decisions, as the company also laid off around 30 employees last May. The impact of these layoffs on the company’s upcoming projects remains uncertain.
Deck Nine’s situation adds to the growing trend of games companies facing layoffs, with thousands of industry employees experiencing job losses in 2024. Sony Interactive Entertainment recently announced plans to lay off around 900 employees, including those working at its renowned first-party studios.
