Bit Reactor reportedly lays off unspecified number of staff
Reported departures at the Star Wars Zero Company developer may be tied to an earlier furlough process.
Bit Reactor appears to have laid off an unspecified number of employees, Game Developer reports. The studio had previously let most staff go before bringing back some furloughed workers.
Bespin Bulletin, citing developers' LinkedIn posts, suggests the departures may involve employees reaching the end of a three-month furlough that began in August. It found no evidence that workers recalled in October were affected.
For teams tracking the studio's production capacity, the scale of the cuts remains unclear. Zero Company received a 1.2 update after some furloughed employees returned, but the report does not establish how these departures affect further development.
No public sales figures have been released. Alinea Analytics estimates roughly one million copies sold by late September; Bit Reactor had not responded to Game Developer's request for comment by publication.
