Something Wicked Games has reportedly laid off “most of” its staff, according to a handful of people impacted.
The studio, which was founded in 2022 by Fallout 76 lead Jeff Gardiner and Obsidian veteran Charles Staples, is currently working on its debut game Wyrdsong, described as an RPG with preternatural and occult themes.
As reported by Game Developer, on Friday, Something Wicked’s senior animator Eric Webb said the studio “had to lay off most of [its] staff”, himself included. He called the news “heartbreaking”.
