Palia developer lays off 35% of staff before life sim hits full release

Palia developer Singularity 6 has laid off 35 percent of its staff just months after the game entered early access.

Workers from the studio began sharing news of layoffs at the end of last week, which Singularity 6 then confirmed in a statement to IGN.

“Following Palia’s release on Steam, we evaluated the support needed to deliver the highest-quality gameplay service for long-term stability,” reads the statement. “We made the difficult decision to reduce our workforce, which impacted around 35 percent of our talented and hardworking team members.
