People Can Fly, the developer behind the likes of Outriders and Bulletstorm, has reportedly laid off “over 30 people” working on a currently unannounced game – codenamed Project Gemini – that’s set to be published by Square Enix.
As reported by Kotaku, People Can Fly development director Adam Alker announced the layoffs in an email sent to all staff working on the project, explaining the cuts were being made due to budget limitations and its shrinking scope. An additional 20 people are also due to leave Project Gemini, but will be shifted to other titles within the company.
“We understand that this decision impacts each of you,” Alker wrote in the email, “and we want to express our gratitude for your hard work, dedication, and contributions thus far.”
