At time of writing, the developer (which previously made Battle Chasers: Nightwar and Ruined King: A League of Legends Story ) hasn't commented on these layoffs or Wayfinder's fate. Digital Extremes' reductions come two weeks after the departure of its founder and CEO James Schmalz. He exited the studio ahead of its 30th anniversary and was subsequently replaced by Steve Sinclair, who previously operated as its CCO. This marks the second round of layoffs for the week at a large developer. Ubisoft cut staff across its Canadian offices earlier in the week, while Embracer may potentially lay off all of Free Radical Design, which it revived back in 2021. Update: Digital Extremes confirmed to Polygon that over 30 workers were let go in its newest round of layoffs. A representative told the outlet Digital Extremes would be "[ceasing] operations of our external projects division."
