Ascendant Studios, the developer behind first-person-shooter-but-with-magic title Immortals of Aveum, is laying off nearly half of its team only a few weeks after releasing the game. Reports suggest that it hasn't sold well.
"This was a painfully difficult, but necessary decision that was not made lightly; nevertheless, we have to make this adjustment now thathas shipped," Robbins wrote in a post on X .
Ascendant will offer the laid-off workers severance packages and help with finding a job elsewhere. The remaining team members will continue to support the game for the time being.
