Fenris Creations has announced layoffs within its EVE Frontier team, following a review of the game's development priorities. The studio, which regained independence from Pearl Abyss six months ago, stated that the changes aim to create a more focused development structure.
Layoffs Amid Development Review
Fenris Creations, previously known as CCP Games, has confirmed job cuts within its EVE Frontier team. This decision comes six months after the studio's separation from South Korean publisher Pearl Abyss. The layoffs are part of a review of the game's priorities and development plans.
The exact number of roles affected remains undisclosed. Fenris indicated that these changes were proposed by the leadership of EVE Frontier and are specific to the project rather than part of a broader company restructuring. Reports suggest that employees in engineering and quality assurance were among those who experienced layoffs. It's unclear how these changes may impact the development timeline of the game.
In May, Fenris went through a significant corporate reset, valued at $120 million, when senior management and long-term investors took over the studio. At that time, Fenris assured that there would be no restructuring or layoffs. Their recent statement highlights that the current decisions reflect a response to the evolving needs of EVE Frontier's development.
EVE Frontier continues to be an ambitious project in the blockchain gaming space. Since its migration to the Sui Testnet in March, it has allowed external developers to create programmable Smart Assemblies, enhancing gameplay elements like turrets and stargates. The game is currently in its 7th Cycle, with each cycle lasting three months during which new features are tested before a complete reset of the game universe occurs.
