Iron Galaxy Implements Staff Reduction to Ensure Future Viability

Iron Galaxy has confirmed the layoff of 66 development staff members. In a LinkedIn statement, the studio explained that despite efforts to maintain team cohesion, the current slow recovery has left it with no choice but to downsize. The decision to part ways with 66 employees was described as a 'last resort' aimed at securing the company's future. The studio remains committed to its mission of supporting game development partners and exploring innovative ways to contribute to the industry's recovery. Its immediate focus is on supporting the departing staff in their career transitions, acknowledging their contributions and pledging assistance in their job searches. This development follows the departure of CEO Adam Boyes in August, after an eight-year tenure. The layoffs are part of a larger trend in the gaming industry, with multiple studios implementing staff reductions in recent months.
