FOUND: Two more studios announce layoffs as 2024 continues to suck for game developers - What They Never Told You

Pieta, a boss from the upcoming Lords of the Fallen game, levels a glowing blade menacingly at the player.

The seemingly endless litany of layoffs that's plagued the game industry through 2023 and into 2024 continued today as two more studios have confirmed cuts to their workforces: Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has let 40 employees go, while Lord of the Fallen publisher CI Games has reduced its workforce by 10%.

The CI Games layoffs reportedly came largely at the expense of the company's marketing team, although a GamesIndustry report says its Hexworks and Underdog internal studios were also affected. CI Games CEO Marek Tymiński later confirmed the report, saying: "To preserve business strength and stability, CI Games has made the tough but necessary decision to implement a targeted round of redundancies, affecting approximately 10% of employees across the company."
