Journey To Foundation Developer Archiact Confirms Layoffs
Archiact, a VR studio known for developing games like DOOM 3: VR Edition and Journey To Foundation, is facing widespread layoffs. While the studio did not provide specific reasons for the layoffs, it is speculated that Journey to Foundation may not have performed well in sales. Archiact is urging any studios that are currently hiring to reach out so they can help their affected employees. This is part of a larger trend in the gaming industry, with many VR developers and publishers experiencing layoffs. Factors contributing to these widespread layoffs include a lack of support for VR, Meta's "Year of Efficiency" initiative, increasing game budgets, inflation, mismanagement, longer development cycles, and the burst of the post-pandemic investment bubble.
