Three Fields Entertainment, the developer behind the title, issued redundancy notices affecting up to 32 employees, reflecting broader instability affecting game studios. This mirrors similar situations across the industry, with other developers like Supermassive Games also announcing significant layoffs as companies attempt to stabilize operations.
