Fae Farm developer Phoenix Labs is laying off the “majority” of its staff as it undergoes a second restructuring.
Phoenix Labs was founded in 2014 by former Riot Games developers. The studio is known for its multiplayer RPG Dauntless title and the farm-sim RPG Fae Farm.
The Dauntless developer faced layoffs and project cancellations last May, impacting around 140 employees. Now, a second round of layoffs has been announced, with the studio confirming that the majority of its staff is being let go.
Layoffs continue
“We have made the tough decision to part ways with the majority of the studio as part of unfortunate but necessary changes to our operations,” the studio wrote on LinkedIn.
“We recognise and deeply appreciate the contributions of every individual impacted. Their talent, dedication, and creativity have left an indelible mark on our company and our games.
“We will share more details in the coming weeks about what this means for Dauntless and Fae Farm. For now, our focus is on supporting those affected through this transition,” said Phoenix Labs.
This is the second major round of industry layoffs this week, with Ubisoft announcing plans to cut 185 jobs as part of restructuring.
The move includes closing Ubisoft Leamington in England and reducing staff at Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Stockholm, and Reflections.
