Fall Guys developer Mediatonic faces layoffs, but are they closing shop? The answer may surprise you.
: In response to the recent wave of layoffs at Mediatonic, the renowned studio behind the hit game Fall Guys and owned by Epic Games, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier clarified that while the studio has indeed faced significant staff reductions, rumors suggesting the complete closure of the studio are unfounded. While the layoffs are undoubtedly a challenging development, Mediatonic remains operational.
While it's true that Epic Games-owned Mediatonic was hit very hard by today's mass layoffs, reports/rumors that the entire studio was shuttered are not true.The world of gaming is fickle, especially when it comes to job security and workplace ethics. There’s never a holiday season that passes by without tragic news concerning another publisher laying off significant portions of their workforce.
The bad news this time is, unfortunately for Fall Guys fans, as earlier today, acclaimed journalist Jason Schreier reported via X that Epic Games has laid off 16% of their employees, including some developers from Mediatonic, the studio behind Fall Guys. The timing of it isn’t surprising so much that it was from Epic, as their game divisions seem to be performing pretty well overall. Their Fornite empire is taking over gaming, with more and more celebrities joining by the day.
It's the small Mediatonic team that made Fall Guys, found huge success, got bought by Epic, only to be laid off this week, that I feel for the most.
