[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64639, member: 1"] Ballistic Moon, the developer behind the PlayStation 5 and PC remake of Until Dawn, has laid off several staff members. [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/until-dawn-remake-studio-ballistic-moon-lays-off-staff-ahead-of-the-games-release-in-october']Eurogamer[/URL] first reported that at least two staff members had announced their departure on LinkedIn but 11 Ballistic Moon developers have now either posted about being made redundant or marked themselves as "open to work" and looking to start somewhere new immediately. It's unclear exactly how many of these staff were laid off, or if the number is greater than 11, but IGN has asked Ballistic Moon for comment. "Like many others in this wonderful but turbulent industry, I am sadly being made redundant from my role," said junior game designer Cassy Cornish in a [URL='https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7235388284531617793/?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_updateV2%3A%28urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7235388284531617793%2CFEED_DETAIL%2CEMPTY%2CDEFAULT%2Cfalse%29']LinkedIn[/URL] post.
