Ballistic MoonA few months after the remake of the 2015 interactive drama horror game Until Dawn had a lukewarm launch on PC and PS5, Ballistic Moon, the UK-based studio behind the game, is said to beeffectively closed right now.In September last year, before the games launch, around 40 employees were laid off, with the rest staying to support the games post-launch updates and development. However, in December, another round of layoffs occurred quietly, with around 20 people losing their jobs. According to various sources of Insider Gaming, only the studios founders, together with possibly a handful of employees at most, remain. Departments such as public relations, marketing, or even development have no employees. This has led to the game actually being without any support right now. According to one source, players reported bugs and issues go unanswered.This echoes the chart on LinkedIn showing that the studio, which was founded in 2019, has around a dozen developers in March, a huge drop compared with nearly 80 around June of last year, which was the peak of the past year.The owners have been trying their best to revert the situation, actively seeking funding and pitching projects, but there was no luck. Sony, the games publisher, who once said that they might greenlight more funding for updates after the games launch, seemingly didnt grant them.When talking about the work conditions in the studio, most of the sources said that it was a generally good place to work except for working overtime without getting paid occasionally.Join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Until Dawn Remake Developer Is Reportedly Effectively Closed Five Months After Game Launch appeared first on CG SHARES.
