Tripwire announces 36 job cuts after smaller-game publishing initiative
The Embracer-owned developer says work on Maneater 2 and Killing Floor 3 will continue despite another round of cuts.
Tripwire Interactive has announced plans to cut 36 jobs, days after announcing Tripwire Presents, a publishing initiative focused on smaller games. The Georgia-based developer and publisher previously cut 23 positions earlier in the year under a restructuring plan.
The Embracer-owned company said work continues on Maneater 2 and Killing Floor 3. That commitment leaves both projects on its stated development agenda, but does not establish how the latest staffing reduction will affect schedules or scope.
For developers considering Tripwire Presents, the cuts put the new publishing initiative alongside a shrinking workforce. Game Developer reports that it is unclear whether the initiative was announced with knowledge of the impending layoffs; the timing alone does not establish that connection.
