Embracer Group is continuing its efforts to restructure its organisation, this time resulting in multiple job losses at developer Beamdog, which was acquired by Aspyr \/ Embracer last year.<\/p>\n

As reported by GameDeveloper<\/a> (thanks, Eurogamer<\/a>), a total of 26 employees at the MythForce<\/a> developer were let go according to multiple posts on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

Amongst these was Associate Producer Misia Bloniarz<\/a>, who wrote “On Friday 26 people were laid off at Beamdog, and I unfortunately am one of them. After 4 years at the company, I look back at my time there fondly, and wish everyone the best.”<\/p>\n

Beamdog was acquired by Embracer back in April 2022, however, the media conglomerate has been hit by hard times recently, announcing in June 2023<\/a> that it would be commencing a “restructuring program” that would include “the closure or divestments of some studios and the termination or pausing of some ongoing game development projects”.<\/p>\n

It was also recently reported that Embracer may be looking to sell Borderlands<\/a> developer Gearbox Entertainment shortly after the total studio closure of Saints Row<\/a> developer Volition. Needless to say, it seems Embracer Group is most certainly following through on its restructuring plan.<\/p>\n
